The Sri Lankan Tourism Promotion Bureau in conjunction with SriLankan Airlines announced that prominent hotels and resorts across Sri Lanka will extend a value-added benefit for Middle East travelers by offering a free stay for one child free (below the ages of 12 years) per paying adult sharing the parent's room as an industry standard during the summer months starting on June 1 and ending on August 31, 2008. The family-friendly package for the summer season is aimed at encouraging more tourists from the Middle East to visit Sri Lanka's touristic destinations, said Faiszer Mustapha, MP and deputy minister of tourism in a statement. __
