An improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered in close proximity to the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo last night. The IED was successfully diffused and detonated by the members of the Sri Lanka Air Force.  The bomb was discovered along the Adiambalama road, in close proximity to the BIA hours before President Maithripala Sirisena returned to the country.

According to the Crime Division of the Sri Lanka Police (CCD) 13 individuals linked to the attack last night were arrested and 10 of them were later transferred into the custody for further investigations.

Officers of the Wellwatte police late last night managed to take into custody a van and a driver believed to have been used to transport the attackers. 24 people have been arrested thus far in relation to the incidents.

Schools and Universities remain closed, scheduled government examinations have been postponed. The Colombo Stock Exchange last night announced that they would not be open for trading until further notice.

The United States of America and the United Kingdom have issued travel advisories for Sri Lanka.

In the meantime, curfews and social media and instant message shut down are in effect in Sri Lanka.

POPE FRANCIS

“I learned with sadness and pain of the news of the grave attacks, that precisely today, Easter, brought mourning and pain to churches and other places where people were gathered in Sri Lanka,” he told tens of thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square to hear his Easter Sunday message.

“I wish to express my affectionate closeness to the Christian community, hit while it was gathered in prayer, and to all the victims of such cruel violence.”

WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS PRESIDENT RONALD S. LAUDER

“World Jewry – in fact all civilized people – denounce this heinous outrage and appeal for zero tolerance of those who use terror to advance their objectives. This truly barbarous assault on peaceful worshippers on one of the holiest days in the Christian calendar serves as a painful reminder that the war against terror must be at the top of the international agenda and pursued relentlessly,” he said in a statement.

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, JUSTIN WELBY, SPIRITUAL LEADER OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

“The will to power leads to the murder of innocents in Sri Lanka. The utterly despicable destruction that on this holiest of days seeks to challenge the reality of the risen Christ. To say that darkness will conquer, that our choice is surrender or death. Jesus chose to defy this darkness and he is risen indeed.”

Sri Lankan agents show great interest towards destination at Seychelles Tourism Board Workshop 

by

The Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) workshop held on Thursday, March 28, 2019, at the Taj Hotels Resort in Colombo saw the participation of over 70 representatives from Travel Agencies including three media houses.

The event, organized with the support of the office of the High Commissioner for Seychelles in Sri Lanka, Conrad Mederic, has been able to reach out to a strong pool of potential agents.

The recent event followed a similar initiative organised by office of the Seychelles High Commission in Sri Lanka in September 2018, which was supported by the STB.

The 2018 event having created some awareness of the destination on the Sri Lankan market, this year’s STB workshop continued the movement in the positioning the Seychelles on the territory.

The STB team facilitating the event consisted of Mrs Amia Jovanovic–Desir, the Director for India, Australia and South East Asia and Mrs Elsie Sinon, Senior Marketing Executive for these territories both from Headquarters.

In his opening remarks at the launch of the event, High Commissioner Conrad Mederic, stated Seychelles being a new destination for the Sri Lankan agents, the market offers various possibilities for potential travel agencies and tour operators.

“It is my high regard that both nations have great potentials in increasing outbound travel and tourism between Sri Lanka and Seychelles. Not only can our tourism sector benefit from such general cooperation but as neighbors residing in the same oceanic waters, it should be in our interest to explore each other’s culture,” said High Commissioner Conrad Mederic.

Mrs. Jovanovic-Desir went methodically through the presentation, providing the audience with an overview of the key aspects of the destination.

Her presentation focused on the insights of the island-hoping concept, the strong characteristics of the Seychelles, emphasizing on the diverse attractions and hotel range for the different income brackets for all the travel market segments and finally explaining the particularities of our destination compared to our close competitors.

She explained that the objective of the workshop is to provide the Sri Lankan partners with a better understanding of how to sell Seychelles and eliminating the mind-set that Seychelles is a difficult destination to sell.

The event also provided a platform for Sri Lankan Airline, the sole airline serving the market with three flights weekly, to give a short overview of their strategy for the Seychelles.

Through his presentation Mr. Pradeep Durairaj, Sri Lankan Airline Manager of Commercial Worldwide Sales and Distribution, gave insights to the trade on the benefits of tapping into the market.

Most of the representatives present voiced out that Seychelles is a new destination for them and they have expressed the strong desire to add it to their destination list after they have further enriched their knowledge.

Commenting on the feedback from the trade partners, Mrs. Elsie Sinon, stated that the workshop has been an excellent starting point to entice Sri Lankan partners to broaden their knowledge of the destination.

“The team has invested huge time and efforts in making this event a success, Seychelles being a particular destination it was crucial for us to put in place this training session for our partners in Sri Lanka.   It took us a long time to accomplish this project; and at the end of the day, it was all worth it. Now that the ball is rolling, I would like to solicit to trade to join with us to push for this market.”

To conclude the day, a prize giving ceremony was organised to recognise the agents who participated in the first workshop in 2018. STB offered the lucky winner complimentary accommodation in Seychelles for one person combined with other services, whilst Sri Lankan Airlines sponsored one return ticket. The other two lucky agents were given a bottle of Takamaka Rum.

Moreover, each representative received a gift with the Seychelles’ brand as well as the general promotional brochures including a copy of the list of the entire local, Destination Management Companies, (DMC) in Seychelles.

After the workshop, the agents were welcomed to a networking event in which they had the pleasure to sample a small cocktail made from local rum from Seychelles and banana chips, followed by soft music’s of some main local artist.

Mrs. Jovanovic-Desir expressed her satisfaction on the positive outcome of the first destination workshop. She pointed that most importantly through the activity STB has managed to train over 70 agents and gave them some key tools to push for sales and demand towards Seychelles.

Ms Nithitha Subramanian, Assistant Tour Manager – Outbound, of Travel Data Tours & Travels and participant to the event confirmed that the STB team has brought Seychelles close to them and through the presentation, they felt that they were already in Seychelles.  They promised that they are very enthusiastic to work with the Seychelles’ trade and to push for sales and interest.
