Sri Lanka (from the Sanskrit Venerable Island), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (pronounced /ˌʃriːˈlɑːŋkɑː/, Sinhala: , Tamil: இலங்கை; known as Ceylon (/sɪˈlɒn/) before 1972 and as Taprobane (/təˈprɒbəniː/) in ancient times), is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres (19.3 mi) off the southern coast of India. It is home to around twenty million people.
Because of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia.[citation needed] It has been a center of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times.[citation needed] The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population; Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, form the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include Moors, Burghers, Kaffirs and the Malays.
The country is famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts and rubber.[citation needed] The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination.[citation needed]
After over two thousand years of rule by local kingdoms, parts of Sri Lanka were colonized by Portugal and the Netherlands beginning in the 16th century, before control of the entire country was ceded to the British Empire in 1815.[citation needed] During World War II, Sri Lanka served as an important base for Allied forces in the fight against the Japanese Empire.[8] A nationalist political movement arose in the country in the early 20th century with the aim of obtaining political independence, which was eventually granted by the British after peaceful negotiations in 1948.
In the 19th and 20th Centuries, Sri Lanka became a plantation economy, famous for its production and export of cinnamon, rubber and Ceylon tea, which remains a trademark national export. The development of modern ports under British rule raised the strategic importance of the island as a centre of trade. During World War II, the island hosted important military installations and Allied forces. However, the plantation economy aggravated poverty and economic inequality. From 1948 to 1977 socialism strongly influenced the government's economic policies. Colonial plantations were dismantled, industries were nationalised and a welfare state established. While the standard of living and literacy improved significantly, the nation's economy suffered from inefficiency, slow growth and lack of foreign investment. From 1977 the UNP government began incorporating privatisation, deregulation and promotion of private enterprise. While the production and export of tea, rubber, coffee, sugar and other agricultural commodities remains important, the nation has moved steadily towards an industrialised economy with the development of food processing, textiles, telecommunications and finance. By 1996 plantation crops made up only 20% of export, and further declined to 16.8% in 2005 (compared with 93% in 1970), while textiles and garments have reached 63%. The GDP grew at an average annual rate of 5.5% during the early 1990s, until a drought and a deteriorating security situation lowered growth to 3.8% in 1996. The economy rebounded in 19972000, with average growth of 5.3%. The year of 2001 saw the first recession in the country's history, as a result of power shortages, budgetary problems, the global slowdown, and continuing civil strife. Signs of recovery appeared after the 2002 ceasefire which died away following the beginning of war. Since the separatist war ended in May 2009 the Sri Lankan stock market has shown marked gains to be among the 3 best performing markets in the worldThe Sri Lankan stock market has come into the first three best stock markets in the world. The Colombo Stock Exchange reported the highest growth in the world for 2003, and today Sri Lanka has the highest per capita income in South Asia.

Backpacking Sri Lanka. Crazy train & bus rides, Ceylon tea plantations & safari tours.
After enjoying freshly made tropical juice cocktails in one of Ella town mountainous valleys, we experienced one the most beautiful tropical train rides in the world where some routes are going though beautiful tropical valleys, Ceylon tea plantations, scenic mountain valleys and also a train trip along the coastline.
Nine Arch bridge in Ella is one of the greatest attractions you can find in this town.
Yala National Park offers amazing safari tours, where we spotted some elephants, leopards and other exotic animals. Yala Park exotic safari tours cost around 45-70 EUR.
Trains are very affordable for European travellers and you can even book your tickets in advance online if you prefer to travel in the 1st or 2nd class.
Train trip in Sri Lanka is a great tourist attraction on its own.

That's So Sri Lanka
You might say Sri Lanka has been hiding in plain sight. Scores of travelers have passed overhead on their way to someplace else, but years of uncertainty kept Sri Lanka off many itineraries.Now, however, all that has changed. The country is moving forward quickly as more and more people discover its myriad charms. Lying between the more trodden parts of India and Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka's history, culture and natural beauty are undeniably alluring. It's the place you haven't been to yet, that you should.

Sri Lanka activities | Golf
Red Dot Tours' short video about golf in Sri Lanka is one of a group of videos that aim to promote some of the varied activity and sporting pursuits that can form part of an exciting Sri Lanka holiday.
Victoria Golf & Country Resort oin the hills above Kandy is one of Asia's finest and additional courses at Nuwara Eliya and Royal Colombo make up a small but satisfying golfing tour.
The videos have been a lot of fun and encapsulate our belief that travel companies can become deeply immersed in the country they sell - and still offer great value for money.
Red Dot's staff are based in Colombo and know Sri Lanka intimately. We specialize in holidays to Sri Lanka, ranging from full island tours to a night or two in your favourite hotel, all designed and overseen by a skilled and dedicated staff in our main office in Colombo.
Red Dot can also offer instant online booking at highly attractive rates for a growing number of our 400 properties - and it comes with a personal consultant and full after-sales service whilst you are in Sri Lanka. We call it Instant Booking With Style.
We hope you like the videos which seek to promote some of the special character of this beautiful island.
