SriLankan Holidays partners Dialog

Offers free connections for travelers:

SriLankan Holidays, the leisure arm of the national carrier SriLankan Airlines, has teamed up with the country’s flagship mobile services provider, Dialog Telekom, to offer a free local mobile connection to all passengers flying into Colombo on its inbound holiday packages.

On arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport, the passenger will be provided a local number on his foreign SIM, or a Dialog pre-paid connection together with some start-up talk-time. Thereafter, the account can be topped up depending on the passenger’s requirement.

The local number solution and Dialog SIM cards provided through SriLankan Holidays will ensure a more enjoyable and hassle-free holiday for travellers.

This is also a boon to MICE groups and for passengers on tour-holidays who need to be in regular contact with their tour guides and ground operators.

The Dialog pre-paid connection is an economical and convenient option for tourists to keep in touch with friends and family back home whenever they are on the go.

ISO 22000 draws the entire food production chain of a particular organization starting from producer to processor and distributor to exporter to maintain set procedures and guidelines to eradicate microbiological and other hazards. There is interactive communication between all the players. There is stringent control of food safety hazards through pre-requisite programs and HACCP plans.

There is also continual improvement and updating of the food safety management system.

The process control and management system includes steps designed to prevent problems before they occur and to correct deviations through a systematic way as soon as they are detected.
