A key highlight of the familiarization tour was the participation of over 50 local travel agents/hoteliers at the B2B networking session arranged by Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB). This networking session helped Sri Lankan travel agents and hoteliers to build long term business links with visiting Thai agents.
