COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, July 10, 2023 (New Indian Express): Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia has announced that the frequency of flights between Chennai and Sri Lanka’s Jaffna will be increased from four times a week to daily services from July 16. The daily flights from Chennai to Jaffna will also amplify trade and commerce between India and Sri Lanka, Scindia noted. The Union Civil Aviation Minister made these remarks in a pre-recorded message on day-2 of the 67th Annual Convention of the Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI), being hosted in Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo, from July 6 to 9 with over 700 participants primarily from India. In his address, he underscored the strong cultural and trade relations between India and Sri Lanka.

Under the theme Transcending Borders, the convention aims to explore the evolving landscape of the tourism industry, emphasizing the embrace of new adventures and destinations. Sri Lanka has the popular Ramayana Trail, which attracts North Indian tourists, and last year, Sri Lanka Tourism introduced the Murugan Trail for South Indians. The Murugan Trail includes approximately ten places of worship, from the north to the south of Sri Lanka, including the Jaffna Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil and the Kataragama or Kadirgamam Murugan Temple.
