The Event is arranged with the aim of showcasing Sri Lanka as a premier travel destination to attract tourists during the summer vacation in Oman as well as to portray Sri Lankan vibrant culture and trade opportunities.

With the active participation of the Sri Lankan expatriate community in Oman, the event seeks to create lasting impression of Sri Lanka among Omani and expatriates alike, fostering cultural exchange and strengthening bilateral economic ties. The roadshow will offer a variety of experiences to make the Omani and foreign visitors to explore various charm and joys of Sri Lanka, aiming to spread awareness about Sri Lanka’s exciting adventure and thrill, wild and scenic, pristine and heritage, bliss, and essence by the Sri Lankan tour operators.

In the ancient times, Sri Lanka was indeed renowned among Arab traders by the name ‘Serendib’. The island’s rich resources, exotic spices, and strategically important location in the center of the maritime Silk Route between China and Europe, made it a significant trading hub in the Indian Ocean, attracting merchants from various parts of the world, including Arabs. This historical connection between Sri Lanka and Arab traders contributed to the enhancement of people-to-people connection and socio- economic exchanges from ancient era to date.

Sri Lanka is one of the leading tourist destinations which is gaining its top ranking among the leading tourism destinations in the world. Sri Lanka has now attracted some 800K tourists so far in 2024. It is believed that the Middle East, especially Oman’s steadily growing middle and upper-class population with a substantial income and interest in international travel will have a positive impact on the growing tourism market in Sri Lanka.

Previously, there were B-B sessions held at closed doors, promoting Sri Lanka tourism in Oman. This will be the first occasion where we approach the Omani citizens and other foreign expatriates residing in the Sultanate in a mass scale at a mall premises.

Oasis Mall Al Khuwair is the venue partner of the Sri Lankan Roadshow, by being the First Gold Sponsor for the event.
