Media crew with President Maithripala Sirisena and Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau Managing Director Sutheash BalasubramaniamSince both countries have their equal share of religious and cultural heritage, this created an opportunity for the Vietnamese media crew to get an informative and interesting experience to share with their audience back home.
The crew consisted of three members: Nguyen Hong Quan, Cameraman, Nguyen Thi Thun Hang, Reporter and Nguyen Hon Mai, Editor.
Nhan Dan TV is the main national TV in Vietnam, which is linked with the Nhan Dan newspaper, which has the highest readership in the country.
One of the main purposes of the press trip was to cover the Kandy Esala Perahera, which is a world famous cultural pageant sacred to all Buddhists around the world and highlights Sri Lanka’s importance as a Theravada Buddhist country. The media crew visited the historic sites of Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Dambulla, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya. Visiting these cities, they had the privilege of covering Ruwanwelisaya, Dambulla cave temple, rock fortress of Sigiriya, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a tea factory and a plantation, not missing a cup of Pure Ceylon Tea and afterwards visiting the Haggala Botanical Gardens.
The TV crew also had an opportunity to interview President Maithripala Sirisena. Sponsored by Sri Lanka Tourism, the crew managed to capture the attention of a large Sri Lankan audience through the interview.
