Kathmandu. Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority SLTDA has launched a special campaign to meet its national tourism goals for 2026, senior official Buddhika Hewasam said on Friday. SLTDA President Hewasam said promotional campaigns focused on key European markets will be launched to attract visitors during months when tourists are traditionally low.
