SL among the safest countries to travel

Sri Lanka has been among the top 13 destinations and safest countries in the world to travel to, the Tourism Ministry said.

According to the worldpackers website, travelling should be enjoyable for everyone and should be relaxing and fun, not scary.

According to the website, the Ministry said with a large majority of the country’s culture being Buddhist, this makes it a pretty safe place to travel as their mannerisms tend to be calm and welcoming. 

Sri Lanka was ranked 12 among the safest countries to travel to. Accordingly, countries such as Iceland, Switzerland, Denmark, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Japan, Finland, Austria, Sri Lanka, and Rural UK were listed as the safest countries to travel to.

According to the Worldpackers Community’s Ms. Lauren, it is glad to mention the best place to visit for tourism. “Sigiriya is a must-visit when travelling Sri Lanka-an enigmatic summit with the remains of an ancient palace at the top.” Who wouldn’t want to see that!,” the website said.

“Overall, there are some incredible top destinations in Sri Lanka, but it’s recommended to go off the beaten path and discover it for yourself,” she added.
