Colombo, 15 May 2025 — In a landmark moment for Sri Lanka’s tourism sector, a delegation of veteran travel media journalists from the most renowned British Guild of Travel Writers (BGTW) Association in the UK has arrived in Sri Lanka, making a historic first visit to the country. The group, comprising more than 30 veteran UK-based travel journalists and media professionals, will commence a week-long expedition to the island’s diverse attractions. The group was warmly welcomed by the officials of Sri Lankan Tourism upon arrival at BIA.
