Sri Lanka needs to come up with a proper global marketing campaign to showcase the best that country has to offer, Browns Hotels and Resorts- Group General Manager Eksath Wijeratne said.
Noting that much was needed to be done to create awareness among the global audience on what Sri Lanka has to offer, Wijeratne said the country required positive publicity outside to take the industry to the next level.
Speaking on major challenges that hamper the growth of the industry, Wijeratne cited negative publicity as the major constraint.
Apart from that Wijeratne said finding the right talent to cater to the needs of tourists has become a major challenge in Sri Lanka in the face of people leaving the country seeking better career opportunities.
According to Wijeratne it takes at least 4-5 years to train a steward in a proper manner. Commenting on hotel booking numbers for the winter season, Wijeratne said,“We are looking at improving numbers.”
Meanwhile the spa at Club Hotel Dolphin in Waikkal was ceremoniously opened on October 27. This state-of-the-art facility was the latest addition to the hotel further to the extensive renovations that took place earlier this year.
