Kicking its promotional efforts into full gear with www.srilanka.travel, the country joins many other popular tourist destinations and organizations in using .travel for its website and emails.

“When we were developing our website initially, we decided to use the .travel domain because it was globally accepted,” said Managing Director, Mr. Dileep Mudadeniya, of the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.
