The 'Island Breaks' offer from SriLankan Holidays includes airfare, star class hotel accommodation with an international buffet breakfast, for two nights and three days.

General Manager - SriLankan Holidays and MICE, Amith Sumanapala said, "We have an exciting line-up of sights and experiences to create the perfect holiday for the single traveller, a couple on a romantic getaway or an entire family."

"Your holiday begins from the time you get onboard SriLankan Airlines and it will be a world of memories the rest of the way."

SriLankan is also actively promoting Sri Lanka as a venue for Middle East based business to host their annual meetings and events.

"Sri Lanka is a hot spot of the meetings industry and we are already attracting a lot of interest from businesses in India, the Far East and the Middle East."

"Most recently representatives of Dubai's Airport Operating Committee (AOC), the individuals responsible for the smooth operation of Dubai International Airport flew here for their annual fellowship and we are happy to say they thoroughly enjoyed their island break."
