NKar creates buzz among 3-wheelers for World Tourism Day celebrations
View(s):An awareness campaign was held to educate 3-wheel owners/drivers to reap long term benefits from tourists by adopting best practices, rather than looking at immediate short term gains.
The campaign was carried out by NKar Travels where they briefed the three-wheel drivers on the following: Avoid reckless driving; Don’t over-charge a passenger; To avoid sexual harassment and its repercussions; Never to use drugs, nor consume liquor whilst driving and never ever to promote drugs to the passengers; and finally to be decent and polite to the passenger, a media release issued by the company stated.
It was a well thought of campaign, or one might consider it to be a social responsible project to support them, the industry and the nation, it was stated.
“People on the street were amased the way in which it was organised and it was certainly a pleasant sight to see the 3-wheel drivers showing immense interest and enthusiasm when the staff of NKAR was stopping them for a short briefing and issuing hand-outs in all three languages that can even be displayed in their vehicles to multiply the message,” the release said.
Towards mid-day there was a long traffic line of 3-wheelers down Green Path, and as the word went by more and more were keen to support the campaign, and the following was huge. As a goodwill gesture NKar Travels & Tours (Pvt) Ltd sponsored 4000 litres of petrol to the participants.
The campaign which was the brain-child of NKar Travels & Tours Managing Director Nilmin Nanayakkara received the full support of Sri Lanka Tourism, the Tourist Police and media.
