TAAI Returns To Sri Lanka with Airline Partner SriLankan Airlines

The Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) returns to Sri Lanka after 18 years with Airline Partner SriLankan Airlines for their 67th Convention, set to take place from 6 – 9 July 2023 in Colombo. SriLankan Airlines takes pride in being part of the Indian travel trade’s premier annual event.

This year’s convention is expected to draw close to 450 agents and 50 international travel media personalities, some of whom are booked to fly to Sri Lanka on SriLankan Airlines. The main theme of the 2023 TAAI convention is to strengthen regional tourism, which coincides with SriLankan Airlines’ regional hub strategy, with its prime location in the Indian ocean extending connections to multiple countries to the north, east and west of India.

Dimuthu Tennakoon, Head of Worldwide Sales & Distribution of SriLankan Airlines commented, “India holds a special place in the history of SriLankan Airlines for many reasons, and this is reflected in the fact that nearly 40 percent of our current operations are concentrated to India. We want to continue growing our presence in India with a strategic focus on leisure and MICE travellers and will introduce more flights and cities to our Indian service in the future. It is therefore exciting to collaborate with TAAI on their biggest calendar event, which serves as a strong starting point for a renewed future of travel between India and Sri Lanka.”
