Lanka’s tourist arrivals surpasses expectations: sparks new hope Source:Dailynews Tourist arrivals in Sri Lanka recorded a steady recovery in the first half of 2023 outpacing the targets according to First Capital Research “BRIGHT HORIZONS: NAVIGATING TOURISM’S GROWTH REVIVAL” REPORT. “This recovery was supported mainly by high global vaccination rates, increased air connectivity, along with the lifting of travel restrictions issued by major source countries. Additionally, the significant depreciation of the LKR and tourism promotion campaigns played a pivotal role in positioning Sri Lanka as an attractive and affordable destination for travel. “Given the accelerated pace of this recovery, we have revised up our 2023 year-end target to 1.5Mn arrivals (previous: 1.2Mn), reflecting an anticipated YoY growth of over 100.0%.” ...

China’s Monumental Engineering Capacities-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis “Taiwan Jack,” commenting serially on the New Item re the aunch of a cross-seas Bullet Train Link: see …………………………….. https://thuppahis.com/2023/10/01/china-taiwan-cross-sea-bullet-train-a-stunning-achievement/#more-75749 A = China builds the world’s first cross-sea bullet train line which will eventually link Fujian province in China with Taiwan, making cross strait travel easier as well as being a further step towards China-Taiwan integration. The distance between China and Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait is between 86 to 100 miles. It seems odd that China would build a cross sea/strait train link with Taiwan at a time when the US and their partners UK, EU, Australia, South Korea and the Philippines are preparing for war in the same Strait. ...

Beck Melder participating in Heart Foundation’s MyMarathon challenge this October From Beck Melder I’ve signed up for the Heart Foundation’s MyMarathon challenge this October – and I’m writing to ask for your support. MyMarathon is a fundraising and fitness challenge where participants (that’s me!) walk or run 42 kilometres (or more) in the month of October and ask our supporters (that’s you!) to consider making a donation. Your donation will help the Heart Foundation fund lifesaving heart disease research that makes a real difference for people living with heart disease, as well as to their families and communities. We all know and love someone with heart disease, which is why I’ve been inspired to raise funds for Aussie hearts this year. I hope you’ll join me in supporting this really worthwhile cause. To donate, please visit my MyMarathon fundraising page https://www.mymarathon.com.au/fundraisers/beckmelder. Thanks, Beck Melder ...

The Long weekend- By Dr harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com Sri Lanka is more than just a destination: it’s a feeling. So magical, so wild, so friendly, so spiritual You can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. The resplendent Island is booming with tourists; the actual season has not started, and the locals’ lifestyles have changed for the better through travel and enjoying life with their families. Last weekend, from the 28th of September, Thursday till Sunday, the 1st of October, was a long weekend and holiday in Sri Lanka.

I, too, decided to go somewhere with my nephew and Niece for the long weekend. All hotels from Jaffna to Dondra were ...
