29 Dec Leisure and golf, a new tourism trend
With three 18-hole golf courses including two in the hill country and an old-established one in Colombo, Sri Lanka presents an exciting challenge for every ardent golfer. It’s with this in mind that Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB) hosted a tour for golf journalist representing international publications for a unique golfing experience.
“For a country ideally placed, the diverse topography and terrain, ensures that golfers be it amateurs or pro have an enjoyable time. Each of the four golf courses are as varied as they can be with some offering the best vistas, while others offer an exciting challenge,” said Sutheash Balasubramaniam, Managing Director of the Bureau. “Promotion of golf tourism aligns well with the National tourism strategy which seeks to position Sri Lanka as a high-value destination.”
