    Honestly if i'm a foreigner i won't travel to Sri Lanka Twise.After travelling to Thailand,Malaysia,Indonesia multiple times Sri Lanka comes in last.Even goa is better.Only thing good about SL is the beaches.But It all depends on where you coming from.Also air fare is high compared to similar countries to SL from North America and Europe.I think where we missed is entertainment industry.We only talk about nature and all these historical places there's no fun in SL.I mean there's not even proper night life in SL.Some might say we don't want something like that in here.Then don't expect young people to visit SL and spend big money.

    Apo patta higana suddo tikak dan enne. Simply afu kule higana suddo
    Yeah they just visit SL to make it a bucket list tick.Sri Lanka doesn't provide what Rich travellers seek for.
