The Airline recently hosted a conference for Buddhist tour operators to create awareness on the services especially tailored to Buddhist pilgrims by the airline.

Buddhist pilgrims are an important travel segment for Sri Lankan, and the airline works hand in hand with tour operators to find solutions to their travel needs.

Over 100 Buddhist tour operators participated in the conference as well as the Overseas Buddhist Tour Organizers Association and Buddhist Overseas Pilgrimage Tour Organizers Association of Sri Lanka.

The discussion that followed between the airline’s representatives and tour operators aimed to jointly identify solutions to current problems and opportunities to regrow the outbound Buddhist pilgrim travel market that, like every other type of international travel, was disrupted in the past few years.
