Hi Bruno, I am a professional who work in tourism industry since 2002 and first I thank you for bringing the tourism for the discussion. However most of the points raised here are inaccurate. What i notice is even Bradly do not have undestand the effort and work of DMCs (Destination managment companies) to promote SL as a destination. Genaral.public (and it seems this experts too) do think tourists are travel by them self to Colombo and visist the country by themself, but what actually happen is majority of the tourists arrive to SL are travel with personalized tour programs tailormade to themself by DMCs . My humble suggestion for you is try to conmect with reputed DMC first (such as Aitkenspence or Cinnamon/Walkers tours ect.) Then you will have better idea about the industry
As a person who has travelled a bit i will tell you why we dont have packages available at hotels in SL.. When you got to Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia and other countries there are pacakeges at each hotel for day tours, boat tours, island hopping tours, historiecal sight tours and all.. now what most people dont know is that all these individuals hotels or tour desk dont organises those tours individually.. there are 3-4 big companies that actually organise these tours in a large way so they can take groups from each hotel and fill their seats. And the hotel gets a commission for each person they promote the package to. Thats how it happens in most eastern asian counties.. those big tour promotors provide pickup service from your hotel, tour, drinks, lunch and pldrop back at your hotel. Now why cant Sri Lanka do this? Ita our people.. if you remember a few months ago they tried to organise a daily tour bus in Ella.. and what happned all the local people got on the road and didnt let the bus go.. the problem is because we are so disorganised now there are small small people who organise these tours individually.. so if a big company comes to offer these packages in bulk they will lose their livelihood.. For instance once thing i would really like to see is a planned luxury bus service that goes between each tourist city.. in a circular fashion.. there are 2 or 3 buses a day that tourist can see the times online and book a seat online.. they can be picked up from the airport or hotel nearby there is a nice chill room they can wait in if they are early.. however say we do this what happens to all those tourist guides that provide transport betwren cities will loae their income.. so that needs to be sorted.. Youndont need to go to Ferrari World to book online tickets.. Cambodia a country much much under developed than us.. you can book a AC bus with wife and hotel pickup (you can even select your seat) online.. if you want to go from Phnom Phen to Siam Reap you just to to the side.. sleect you bus time and seat put your hotel name and make the payment online.. they will send a tuk to your hotel in the morning to pick you up. Buses are AC and have wifi. And this is not now in 2024.. i went to cambodia around 7-8 years back.. so how behind are we
Mr. Bradley is more than capable of handling the task. His track record of success is extensive, having offered invaluable advice to my team. We’ve put his insights into practice, transforming our understanding and fulfillment of expectations into tangible results. As an agency committed to delivery, we’re now poised to integrate tourism seamlessly with our comprehensive 360-degree services. I’m brimming with ideas on how to make this connection a cornerstone of our agency’s offerings - Naushad Meedin

Very very important discussion ...Thank both of you.
Very productive conversation, Thank you sir ❤
What he says is 100% correct. Our travel companies are not forward-thinking. Forget about political leaders.
වචනේ පරිසමාප්ත අර්ථයෙන්ම මහත්තයෙක් 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕥 ❤️💐
absolutely the very good podcast that posted on sl vlog 😊 keep it up
බෲනෝ ඇයි ඔබ දෙයක් කිව්වහම ඒකට entry පොයින්ට් එකක් හදන්නැත්තේ. මොකක් හරි දෙයක් කිව්වහම ආ ඒක හරියන් නෑ කියලා ඒක ක්ලෝස් කරනවා. උදාහරණයක් සීගිරිය ගල මුදුනේ මාළිගාව ලේසර් තාක්ෂණයෙන් මවා පෙන්නනවා කිව්වහම ආ ඒක කරන්න වෙන්නේ නෑ ලංකාවේ කියලා ඒක වැහුවා. මොකක් හරි මාතෘකාවකට එන්ට්‍රි පොයින්ට් එකක් හදාගන්න. නැත්නම් අපරාදෙ වටිනා අදහස් නිකන් වතුරේ යනවා.
අඩුපාඩු පෙන්නලා දෙනවට දායක සභාව කැමති නෑ. උන් ඇස් වහගෙන ඉන්න බයියො.
What a strategic discussion. Excellent. Talking to blank walls sadly
"Oooops" something Bruno have to practice harder 😂
ඒක මරු❤❤

Sorry to say sir
