TBCasia 2020 is set to bring you a Pre tour and Awards in a bi-annual event - its fourth hugely successful edition since its launch in 2014.

The pre- tour will be from 18th-22nd October 2020. Conference and Awards Ceremony will be on the 23rd October 2020.

As the first-ever online influencer destination marketing campaign to be held in the Asian region in 2014 to date, TBCasia gained momentum with the addition of the awards in 2018, recognizing some of the most influential travel bloggers in the world.

TBCasia brings together 60 of the most influential bloggers from across of the world, who visit Sri Lanka and are sent on 4 tours curated by Cinnamon Hotels - covering the entire island. This gives them the opportunity to experience the authenticity of our island home - from its food, to culture, wildlife, adventure, wellness and its hospitality, and create content promoting Sri Lanka as a tourism destination.

Due to the fast-changing dynamics around COVID-19 globally and the implementation of social distancing policies as a way of mitigating risk, we have taken the decision to temporarily postpone the announcement of finalists for TBC Asia 2020. Your application was well received by our independent panel of judges and we were encouraged by the immense interest and enthusiasm that the programme received this year.

We anticipate to update you regarding the event by 30th June 2020.
