~TOURISM IN SRI LANKA~

 "The travel and tourism industry, it's just a huge part of our economy."- Karen Hughes-


Tourism is the main source of income of most of the countries of the world today. Tourism means travelling for pleasure. People also travel for religious, business and educational purposes. Man always has a desire for travelling. With the development of different modes of transport facilities tourism has turned into a major industry. It is a top income earner in the modern world. 


Sri Lanka being a tropical island with a long history has better opportunities for tourism. The diversity in nature and the rich Buddhist culture provide a suitable environment for tourism.
Sri Lanka is no more a war ravaged country today. She is a peaceful nation today. A visitor can travel anywhere in the island without fear. The good road network is another advantage. They save the time of the tourist. 

There is a rich cultural heritage in Sri Lanka. The ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa bear witness to this. Even in the ancient times Sri Lanka was a popular tourist attraction. 

Sri Lanka is gifted with natural beauty. There are golden beaches, rainforests, waterfalls etc. The visitor gets a rare experience here.
Tourism is a solution for most of the economic problems of the country. It creates many job opportunities. The development of infrastructure facilities is another advantage. 

But there are disadvantages, too. Child abuse, narcotic drugs, prostitution, environmental pollution etc. are a few of them. 
With better management tourism can be made a blessing for our country.
