ourism Promotion Minister Faizer Mustapa says that there was no indecent behavior displayed at the recently concluded Hikkaduwa Beach Festival, in spite of pictures to the contrary depicting semi-nude women circulated in the media and via email. in particular on the reports of semi-nudity the Minster said “It is a complete fabrication, it did not happen at the Hikka Festival”. He had explained that the Tourism Ministry had been very conscious of its responsibility to the country’s culture and heritage and that measures had been taken to ensure that no indecency prevailed during the course of the four-day extravaganza.
Not only by publishing the statement of the Minister, We have decided to analyse the photos and the story behind this
As per above pictures, Tigo, Elephant house, apple soda brands were sponsored to this event. But if you check the official web site of hikkafest 2009 (http://www.hikkafest.com/), these brands were not sponsored to the 2009 event.
Its very clear Dialog was the official event partner, Yes FM was the media partner and Brand “Sprite” was the official beverage provider. That means these are not the pictures of Hikkafest 2009. It can be some pictures of previous year/years.
