By capitalising on this trend, Sri Lanka Tourism aims to diversify our offerings and attract a broader spectrum of visitors seeking spiritual enlightenment and cultural immersion,” he explained.- <a href="https://www.ft.lk/front-page/Sri-Lanka-Tourism-Promotion-Bureau-plans-to-launch-first-ever-Buddhist-Trail/44-758517" target="_blank">https://www.ft.lk/front-page/Sri-Lanka-Tourism-Promotion-Bureau-plans-to-launch-first-ever-Buddhist-Trail/44-758517</a></blockquote>
