Dear Trade Colleagues,
We observe Vesak this year, the festival of lights, on a bittersweet note; as the country recently celebrated a peaceful Vesak, while rising out from the darkness of the deplorable Easter Attacks on our island, we remember our loss as equally as we are determined to rebuild and rise from it. Sri Lanka has been declared open for tourism by the government, with extra security measures being taken across the island.
In this month's "Journeys" we invite you to try the best seafood in Mannar, see how far the 140 year old coconut husking industry has come, meet the quirky and warmhearted locals – from mechanic turned wildlife adventure guide, to mechanic turned world famous motorcycle restorer, and ethically spend a day with an elephant or even live with the tuskers of Sri Lanka.
