Formerly known as Ceylon, Sri Lanka is in the Indian Ocean in Southwest Asia, where the original soul of Buddhism still flourishes and nature’s beauty remains unspoiled. There is an array of tourist attractions which fascinates many tourists; ‘Polonnaruwa’, ‘Anuradhapura’ and ‘Kandy’, historic places for Buddhism; Sinharaja Forest Reserve, a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; and Nuwara Eliya, the most famous district for Ceylon Tea.
Additionally, the beautiful gold sand beaches in Galle and Hambantota and exciting Safari tours at the Yala National Park and Bundala National Park are popular destinations in Sri Lanka chosen by tourists from around the world.
Located in the South West of Sri Lanka, Maldives also known as the “heaven on earth” is a perfect country for honeymooners and families to visit and enjoy marine sports or savour relaxation. Described as the “flower of the Indies” by Marco Polo, Maldives consists of 1,192 small coral islands with white sandy beaches and emerald colored sea.
By connecting Korea, Sri Lanka and Maldives through Korean Air’s new direct flight, the demand for both business and leisure travel is expected to increase.
In order to gain growth momentum, Korean Air has actively launched new routes since the beginning of 2012 including Da Nang Vietnam in January, London Gatwick in April, Kenya Nairobi in June, Yangon Myanmar in September and Riyadh and Jeddah Saudi Arabia in November.
