"We’ve seen a significant increase in enquiries for the Christmas holiday period through to Easter 2015.

"We expect further interest in Sri Lanka in the first part of 2015 as historically this is when travellers plan their exotic and luxury holidays for the year with family and friends.

"Sri Lanka has an amazing ancient Culture, boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, has a number of open range parks and is home to pearly white sand beaches.

"Sri Lanka is the perfect fit for travellers and is a passport stamp worth bragging about" says Shields.
