Hotelivate successfully concluded the 3rd Edition of Tourism, Hotel Investment & Networking Conference (THINC) Sri Lanka that was held on 22 January 2019, at the Galle Face Hotel, Colombo. This biennial conference brought together close to 170 industry stakeholders, business leaders and key decision-makers from across 14 nations.

 The 2019 agenda emphasized on the country’s strong tourism potential by showcasing its growth and investment opportunities, while also addressing some of the critical challenges in the region. Some of the notable speakers at that years’ conference were Hiran Cooray, Chairman, Jetwing Hotels; Rahul Chaudhary, Executive Director, CG Corp Global; Sanjeev Gardiner, Group Chairman, The Galle Face Hotel Group; David Keen, Chief Executive Officer, QUO; Angeline Ondaatjie, Managing Director, Tangerine Hotels; Dr. Binod Chaudhary, Chairman, CG Corp Global, to name a few. The Organizing Committee would like to thank all sponsors, supporters, speakers and delegates for your support in making THINC Sri Lanka 2019 a success and look forward to welcoming you at the next edition of THINC Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka faced a difficult situation in terms of an economic and political crisis in 2021-2023. The situation had significant implications not only for the wellbeing of the Sri Lankan people but also for the stability and economic health of the region. The crisis was characterized by a severe economic downturn, leading to shortages of essential goods like fuel, medicine, and food. Inflation rates soared, and the national currency depreciated sharply, exacerbating the hardships faced by the population.

We are now excited to bring THINC Sri Lanka back in 2024! Continue to watch this space for additional updates. For more information on THINC Sri Lanka, please visit https://www.thincsrilanka.com/ or write to [email protected]
