Sri Lanka - a paradise for tourists
The famous explorer Marco Polo of the 12th century wrote that Sri Lanka is the finest island in the whole world. For centuries it had been a great tourism destination particularly for European travelers. The advantage of Sri Lanka as a tourism destination is threefold: it is an authentic tourism destination, it is a compact island of 65,610 square kilometers where a tourist can travel the length and breadth of the country within a few days and the diversity of the tourism product is unparalleled. As Sri Lanka is an island surrounded by sea, it is a perfect destination for a beach holiday. When the seas are rough on one side of the island there is calm water on another side. Therefore, it is a year round beach destination.

Sri Lanka Heritage
Anuradhapura was the largest ancient city and capital of Sri Lanka from 377 BC to 1017 AD. It was founded in 437 BC and became an important center of trade and diplomacy by the 1st century AD, linked to both the Roman-Hellenistic world and China. Over 1400 years it was the royal seat of more than 250 Buddhist and Hindu kings. Important religious structures built there include the Thuparamaya dagoba, containing relics of the Buddha, and the massive Jetavanarama dagoba. Archaeological finds provide evidence of its trade links and the city was home to foreign merchant quarters.
Sri Lanka Beauty
Sri Lanka has many natural attractions, including diverse rainforests like Sinharaja Forest Reserve. Sinharaja is home to unique plants like the pitcher plant, which traps insects. The forest also contains various animal species such as monkeys, fishing cats, and blue magpies. Sri Lanka's natural beauty makes it a worthwhile tourist destination.
