SriLankan Airlines and Tourism Malaysia host media familiarisation tour

SriLankan Airlines, together with the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, recently hosted a group of Sri Lankan journalists on a familiarisation (FAM) tour of Malaysia, aimed at strengthening travel and tourism ties between the two countries. 

The tour will serve to reinforce why Malaysia has long remained a favourite holiday destination among Sri Lankans, popular for its affordability, family-friendly attractions and great shopping. It also highlights SriLankan Airlines as the preferred choice of travel, with twice-daily flights to Kuala Lumpur offering travellers convenience and flexibility beyond compare.

A Malaysian holiday is every traveller’s dream, with back-to-back experiences across cities such as Putrajaya, Melaka, Genting and Kuala Lumpur, offering a range of attractions, fun activities, entertainment and endless opportunities for shopping, from premium to value brands. 

Holidaymakers can get a bird’s-eye view of the city through sightseeing tours and cruises; visit places such as Genting Highlands and Batu Caves; explore temples and historic landmarks including the King’s Palace and Porta de Santiago; immerse themselves in the vibrant night markets of Jonker Street; and enjoy some serious retail therapy at various precincts and malls, including Malaysia’s largest, IOI City Mall. 

Malaysia is also rapidly gaining ground among Sri Lankan students pursuing 

higher studies.
