Ceylon Roots collaborates with International Police Association of Sri Lanka
In an effort to foster and facilitate an increase in tourism in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Roots recently successfully concluded two events in collaboration with the International Police Association of Sri Lanka (IPA). Despite the after-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the country’s most recent economic and political instability, with a sense of normalcy gradually returning to the nation, both programs that were originally scheduled for 2020 were finally held this year.
Nominated as Ground Handling Agent in Sri Lanka for the fifth consecutive year, the Ceylon Roots vision is to create memorable moments and island experiences for both inbound and outbound travel. With this, the Team effectively accommodated the International Hosting Section Meetings which were held at the Cinnamon Grand and live streamed it for the benefit of international participants who were unable to physically attend the sessions. The second event carried out was the 6th International Young Police Officers’ Seminar on ‘Countering Modern Terrorism’ held at the STF Training School, Katukurunda, Kalutara with participants from over 12 countries and spanning 4 continents.
It is noteworthy to mention that both groups toured many parts of the island, including the historical city of Kandy and the iconic Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage affirming that Sri Lanka is once again able to host tourists. Ceylon Roots’ pivotal role and partnership in these two significant events has undoubtedly been an invaluable opportunity for the tourism and travel industry to rebuild its credibility and confidence in the eyes of a global audience, despite negative international media coverage over the past few months.
