Sri Lanka is gifted with natural beauty. There are golden beaches, rainforests, waterfalls etc. The visitor gets a rare experience here.
Tourism is a solution for most of the economic problems of the country. It creates many job opportunities. The development of infrastructure facilities is another advantage.
