Continuing with the training program of Sri Lanka Convention Bureau ( SLCB) in MICE activities Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conferences and Exhibitions), a full day training session in Negambo was held recently in collaboration with the Negambo Hoteliers Association and Sri Lanka Professional Conference, Exhibition and Events Organisers at the Jetwing Beach, Negambo. This is the third such program for this year after Jaffna , Kandy and Nuwaraeliya.

SLCB took the initiative to conduct the MICE training in the regions to update the various departments in the hotels in handling MICE events. Every year SLCB conducts this program around the country to ensure that all hoteliers involved in MICE get opportunity for this training which is conducted by the MICE experts and Practitioners in the country.

Forty participants took part in the training, majority of them representing hotels in Negambo. The trainers consisted Ziyan Ameen-President of SLAPCEO, Felicia Adhihetty –Managing Director of B Connected, Vipula Wanigasekera - CEO SLCB and Achini Dandunnage - Senior Manager SLCB. The sessions were followed by a group exercise and presentations. The occasion was graced by the Chairman of SLCB Udaya Kumara Rupasinghe.

While the participants praised the program as an essential element to update their knowledge the CEO of SLCB Vipula Wanigasekera said ‘We were surprised with the level of creativity displaced by the participants when asked to come up with Incentive Programs and there is a need to operationalize them in real life Business’.
