In the 13th century, explorer Marco Polo described Sri Lanka as “La più bella isola delle sue dimensioni in tutto il mondo” – the finest island of its size in all the world.
Sri Lanka is an island of serendipity, a land of chance encounters and adventures, the home of innumerable treasures. An island deeply rooted in nature, history, heritage and values. It offers a myriad of experiences to truly immerse in authentic culture and unspoiled nature, a genuine excitement to the senses, a tug at one’s emotions.
Several key operators in Sri Lanka’s private tourism sector came together to form the Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance and start the “Love Sri Lanka” campaign which is now the heart of our island’s tourism community.
About UsSri Lanka is a meeting place of friendly faces who share their homes and trade; a space for spiritual healing; a land for learning from the old and the new; a hub of commercial activity; a spot for tranquility. Sri Lanka casts a spell unlike anywhere else. It draws people in, not with artificial attractions and grand gestures, but by spellbinding soul and sincerity.
