Tourism Minister John Amaratunga, who will lead the designation, told Xinhua that discourses between the Chinese and Sri Lankan governments will be held, on the sidelines of the gathering, in an offer to extend tourism ties between the two countries. A MoU on tourism will likewise be marked between the two nations.
Furthermore, Amaratunga said that discourses with universal visit administrators will likewise be held to advance Sri Lanka's tourism, which has seen a blast in the late years.
"We will guarantee China and alternate nations that Sri Lanka is a sheltered visitor destination for its explorers. China is as of now one of our top markets and we plan to draw in more guests this year," Amaratunga said.
Sri Lanka's tourism industry which was once intensely scarred by a 30-year common clash has developed as the main remote trade worker with an expanding number of travelers, particularly from China.
A year ago, Sri Lanka got just about 1.8 million travelers, up 17.8 percent from the earlier year, to a great extent because of a solid development of Chinese guests.
With an expansion in the quantity of Chinese visitors, the Sri Lankan government as of late said it is focusing on more Chinese carriers to land in the island country as it hopes to encourage grow tourism this year.
The nation has effectively set an objective of drawing in 2.5 million vacationers before the current year's over and 4 million by 2020.
