And, that is where our \u2018think tanks,\u2019 at Sri Lanka Tourism, come into action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">However, we can\u2019t be obsessed with just volumes, where tourist arrivals are concerned. We have also got to look at the spending power of the tourists we look to attract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And, spending power doesn\u2019t mean we need to charge five-star rates that are applicable in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-87675\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/FOOD.jpg\" alt=\"FOOD\" width=\"558\" height=\"506\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For instance, luxury accommodation, in Thailand, costs a fraction of the price spent on any standard commercial hotel in Europe, or the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Even better: Stays at many luxury hotels, in Thailand, usually feature traditional performances during dinner, world-class cuisine, pampering at the spa, and Thai cooking classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Having visited Thailand many times ((invited by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to promote Thailand as the number one destination for Sri Lankan holidaymakers), I understand that high-spending holidaymakers flock to the \u2018Land of Smiles,\u2019 for the following reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">BEACHES, RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE, ANCIENT TEMPLES, FESTIVALS, FOOD, ACCOMMODATION, WEATHER, WILDLIFE, QUIET RURAL GETAWAYS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Well, haven\u2019t we got them all? But, unfortunately, even when the going was good, we were able to attract around 1.9 million tourists, in 2019, while Thailand almost hit the 40 million mark!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Whatever shortcomings, we have, let\u2019s get it all straighten out, and we need to do it now\u2026for the benefit of our tourist industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A Sri Lanka holiday should take in elephants, tea plantations and cave temples \u2013 a destination for nature and wildlife lovers; yes, we must stress that Sri Lanka is where you can have a tropical island escape that goes beyond the beaches. It\u2019s a place to witness Mother Nature\u2019s beauty at its very best, while immersing yourself in amazing culture, along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s also make Sri Lanka a dream come true for Indian Wedding Planners; Let\u2019s make our Wildlife Parks a top attraction\u2026on the lines of what tourists experience when they visit some of the national parks, in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I generally hear people referring to Sri Lanka as \u2018a land like no other.\u2019 And, they are absolutely correct! But, what worries me is that Sri Lanka, in spite of having \u2018beauty\u2019, in abundance, has still not been able to break into the tourism market \u2026 in a BIG way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-87676\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Wildlife-Parks.jpg\" alt=\"Wildlife Parks\" width=\"564\" height=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">On my many visits to Thailand, as a journalist, I\u2019ve only heard superlatives being used, by foreigners, to describe Sri Lanka.

And, there\u2019s more to add \u2013 wildlife parks, World Heritage sites \u2026 even a little bit of England, in Nuwara-Eliya?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-59643 alignleft lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ivan-alvis.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"196\" data-src=\"http:\/\/island.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ivan-alvis.jpg\" \/>With so many plus factors to woo tourists, why are we faced with a very bumpy ride on the path to success!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Probably, we are not conveying, in the correct manner, to holidaymakers, the world over, what we have to offer them to make their stay here a memorable experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">We could also look to promote Cultural Tourism \u2026 maybe even Ayurveda and Village Life Tourism. There are several other branches of tourism we can introduce and promote. What about Wellness tourism!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As for Cultural Tourism, there are travellers who would very much like to engage with a country\u2019s culture, specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those people, their art, architecture, religion(s), and other elements that help shape their way of life. And, we have a lot to offer in this regard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Yes, nothing is impossible in our land like no other \u2013 Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tourism\u2026are we on the right track?
