'Sri Lanka,
Just another day in Paradise'- The Manila
Times |
|
|
|
Admittedly, paradise is a word too easily bandied around these days on the global tourism circuit. But in its application to this jewel of an island hanging like a sultry teardrop in the Indian Ocean it matches the description in every sense of the word, states The Manila Times in an article published today (4 April) commenting on Sri Lanka's beauty.
In fact, “Serendipity” and “a land like no other” were two of the befitting epithets attached to the country long before it made its debut on the map as Ceylon (in colonial days when the Portuguese, Dutch and British delivered their calling cards) and later, in the years following independence, as Sri Lanka. The names alone bear witness to its richness and beauty, and the intensity of the affection it evokes in everyone who has ever visited it, the author wrote.
The writer explained the tourist destinations in Sri Lanka as saying "Apart from the signature beaches and salubrious highlands, add to the heady brew an eventful history that is 2500 years old, the healing powers of Ayurveda medicine, the thrills of sports and adventure, the colorful festivals, the diversity of culture, the lush nature and wild life and you have a recipe for the complete tourist odyssey.
