The project will contribute to the fulfilment of SDGs 4, 12 and 17, through sustainable tourism. Inspired by the 85,000-square metre, Italy-shaped Miniature Park in Rimini, Italy, The Minilanka Heritage Park will be built on a well accessible, countryside open space with a landscape design that will reflect the tear-drop shape of the island. The park is expected to become a top-rated international tourist attraction and the first-in-the-world to showcase unique miniature (1:25 scale) replicas of the country’s landmarks produced using 3D laser scanning drones flying over the original sites and 3D printers fed with filaments extracted from recycled plastic waste.The park development will integrate a series of multipurpose playfields: Eco-certified bungalows for overnight guests, shopping and dining facilities all spread across a vibrant green environment. Completing the leisure experience for visitors will be a stretch of smart pavilions ordered to showcase different sustainability issues; i.e.: poverty, health, education, climate change, life on land and below water, etc. This is aimed at providing youth and adults with a learning experience platform (augmented and virtual reality, gamification and computer-aided strategic planning etc.), to explore the current progress of and eventually contribute their own next generation solutions towards fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka.The initial planning team of service providers and products suppliers associated and coordinated by ICT4SIDS for the Minilanka Heritage Park include Erik Rorsch, international expert on miniature cities and attraction parks, Christiaan Kruis, environmental designer (<a href="http://www.christiaankruis-arch.com" target="_blank">www.christiaankruis-arch.com</a>), Protoprint, India, the producer of filaments for 3D printing from recycling plastic waste (<a href="http://www.socialseva.org/protoprint" target="_blank">www.socialseva.org/protoprint</a>) and Thrimana, <a href="http://www.thrimana3dprinters.com" target="_blank">www.thrimana3dprinters.com</a>, the only Sri Lankan company already achieving successful expertise and results in the forefront of 3D scanning and 3D printer manufacturing.More:<a href="http://www.ft.lk/travel-tourism/Eco-friendly-miniature-theme-park-Minilanka-Heritage-Park-to-be-launched-by-ICT4SIDS/27-664453" target="_blank">http://www.ft.lk/travel-tourism/Eco-friendly-miniature-theme-park-Minilanka-Heritage-Park-to-be-launched-by-ICT4SIDS/27-664453</a></blockquote>
