Sri Lanka Tourism is trying to rise from the Ashes after the horrific against LTTE terror group which has broken tourism apart.

One of the major problem Sri Lanka faced to emerge as a hot tourism spot is their internal conflict against LTTE. Few months back govt went all guns blazing against LTTE in war which saw sharp 80-90% decline in foreign tourists.

Now when war is over Sri Lanka tourism is desperate to regain lost ground. It won't be any easy for them since govt has still blocked access to many areas in the country specially areas with Tamil refugees.

However some people are very optimistic and believe that end of LTTE will bring peace in Sri Lanka which will give platform for long term boom in tourism. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and lots of people want to visit.

What tourism in the country needs is a promotional campaign from the tourism department which could give boost to tourism. Campaign should focus on peace in the country ensuring Sri Lanka as a safe destination.

With 2011 Cricket World Cup just a year away govt in Sri Lanka needs to act now to build confidence and trust in tourists.
