Travel industry is growing and oppurtunities for everyone

With the end of the war then number of tourists coming to Sri Lanka has increased dramatically. It is not surprising since Sri Lanka already had all the things a tourist can possible hope for but the only hindrance being the war. With the growth of travel industry opportunities have come up for more people and this is not only for people in travel industry. I have started writing some articles about travel tips and places of interest in Sri Lanka and they seem to be performing very well. My lens about Must visit places in Sri Lanka it targeted towards tourists and it already performing well in search engines. I wrote a hub pretty much on the same topic titled Must see places in Sri Lanka and it is also doing well in search engines and getting traffic for certain keywords. I'm getting some Adsense clicks from them as well and it could be a good opportunity to make some extra money.I hope the rise in tourism continues for a long while.

Tourism on the rise

With the end of the war there is a huge rise in tourists coming to Sri Lanka for vacations which is not surprising since Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country where they can spend a holiday for a relatively low cost. For such a small Island the diversity displayed is amazing. From a 3 hour drive you can go 35C Colombo to 18C Nuware Eliya. Then there are the beautiful beaches all around the country , archeological sites like Anuradhapura , World heritage sites like Sigiriya and Sinharaja rain forest. The number of things you can do here is simply amazing which is the main reason for the huge influx of tourists. The downside is not the somewhat good hotels are now almost off limits for the locals. This is especially hard when you are trying to organize office trips team trips etc. Good thing is relatively unknown but still quality places like Gods Paradise Nature resort are getting more local visitors, It just goes to show one mans gain is another mans loss.
