The Dawning of Peace and a new era for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka
has been emerging from 25 years of unfortunate political and
social turbulence - one that has resulted in the country being unable
to a large extent to realise its tremendous potential. At the same
time the very troubles that have held it back have protected it from
untramelled development. Now that the terrorist organisation of the Tamil Tigers has been destroyed and the identity of Sri Lanka as a unified country takes root once again, what was recently
improbable now becomes excitingly possible.
Apart from
the change in the socio-political climate, the island has been blessed
by nature with the most extraordinary and varied beauty. From endless
palm-fringed beaches to tea carpeted and mist-enveloped hills, its
varied landscape and climate makes it the most bio-diverse island
of its size in the world. Combined with nature's bounty is an extremely
rich cultural heritage that boasts a number of world heritage sites
and many examples of man's early triumphs of civilization.
Below, we
will be adding articles as we come across them that relate specifically
to the real estate market in Sri Lanka. We hope this will help to
give you a balanced picture of the prospects of the country in general
and of the property market in particular.
