In Sri Lanka, weddings are a big deal. Across all our different cultures and communities, people pull out all the stops for their child’s wedding, as it is considered a union of two families in addition to being a celebration of the couple’s love for each other.
Sri Lanka has long been a go-to destination for business meetings and dealings, being located in a very strategic place. Its location means it’s not too far from many key locations like Singapore, India, Malaysia, Thailand and the Middle East, making it an ideal place for global citizens to congregate.
One of the things a lot of travellers might be wary about is getting around in Sri Lanka. While it’s relatively easy to book your flight tickets and accommodations online, sorting out travel arrangements is not always so straightforward. Navigating public transport might prove to be tricky, especially if you’re travelling as a large group or with kids.
