Sri lanka will definitely become the next Bali

amazing video 😍

Shnelle's appearance resembles a typical village Sri Lankan mum living in the kitchen. By the way, she is beautiful.

Well said why should . SRI LANKA be another Bali . 2500 years ago there was no Bali. The architecture that Bali enjoys, evolved from the monastic architecture the Sri Lankan monks took to the far east in the 4th C AD. Bali is only post 15th C. One should be better informed and use knowledgeable persons.

Sri lanka doesn’t want to be another bali. Sri lanka is a culturally diverse unique place. The world has only one Sri lanka. Good sir please dont try to gentrify our Sri lanka for profits.

STOP BRINGING YOUR DESEASES TO OUR CLEAN AND HOLY NATION

Super interview! ❤

Thanks for sharing the experience.

I Like Sri Lanka called as Ceylon Ceylon is Coooool Name.😊❤

Bali more crowded place😢. I hope Sri Lanka - Ceylon will not be crowded like that.

Never bring into service sector. That country never ever become successful. They always end up rely on visitors and people abuse the power and you always be poor. Srilanka has lot of potential to become succesful export and other sector rather than tourism.

From the very first day I saw Shenelle's videos on TV, I realised she is the best person to promote Sri Lanka tourism.The reason i am saying this is because the way she present's her videos in a wholesome and down to earth manner. Shenelle is a simple beautiful girl showing her country. shenelle all the very best in all your endeavours for the future. I will always support you.

I hope it will not be a toxic tourist destination like Bali. But Sri lanka is Sri lanka, of course since tourism is one of the main industry the polices should be improved, but i hope it will not ruined the ecosystem with overcrowd tourist.

Hahaha😅. No but nice try.

Get tourists to feed Wild Elephants❤ Do not imitate Bali *** Arrange Tour Packages** ,Like in Singapore *** .

All Sri Lankan Tamil people where ever spread please come to Srilanka and billed the country ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please don’t compare Sri Lanka with Bali. We have the most unique destination.

I have been to Bali on several occasions and Sri Lanka lately. You cannot compare Bali to Sri Lanka at this stage. A lot must change in Sri Lanka if they are have to have good tourist. I noticed everything is very expensive and even people have changed. everywhere you go they try to rip you off starting from the airport, especially when they see a white skin. This is bad for Sri Lanka. Tougher laws needed to be brought in for hawkers. Its a beautiful Country but a lot more needs to be done to welcome the tourist.

With my short stay in UK, I have visited few touristy places, what i understood was there are so many diverse ways to monetise the places we already have. For example, none of our touristy sites offer a service of providing an instant photo with a backgrounds of that place, which is tempting service which most tourist will pay few more money. Also we can put a recorded version of history of sigiriya at display for tourists to sit and watch. Most tourists have an idea sigiriya is just a rock. Providing proper introduction to place will increase the value of place, and leave a good impression about our history in tourists, all UK castles offer that facility. I don't know if it is possible, but we can offer a 1 hour ferry services in our rivers between two locations. We already have very touristy activities, but I suggest we can be more creative and smart to make few more dollers. Wish all the very best to my country.

Both Sri Lanka and Indonesia are renowned for their unique natural beauty and diverse cultures, making them popular tourist destinations. Let's compare them in terms of tourism and natural resources: Tourism: Sri Lanka: Known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean," Sri Lanka attracts tourists with its stunning beaches, ancient cities, lush tea plantations, and abundant wildlife. Popular attractions include Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Adam's Peak, the historic city of Galle, and the cultural triangle. Indonesia: With its vast archipelago comprising over 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers a rich tapestry of landscapes, cultures, and activities. Highlights include Bali's beaches and temples, Komodo National Park's unique wildlife, Yogyakarta's cultural heritage, and the vibrant capital city of Jakarta. Natural Resources and Beauty: Sri Lanka: While Sri Lanka is relatively smaller in size compared to Indonesia, it boasts diverse natural resources and beauty. The country is known for its lush rainforests, wildlife reserves, fertile tea plantations, and pristine beaches. Sri Lanka also has significant mineral resources such as gemstones, graphite, and mineral sands. Indonesia: Indonesia is one of the most biodiverse countries globally, with vast rainforests, coral reefs, and volcanic landscapes. It's home to iconic species like orangutans, Komodo dragons, and Sumatran tigers. Additionally, Indonesia has abundant natural resources including coal, tin, nickel, and natural gas, making it a major player in the global commodities market. In terms of natural resources and beauty, both countries offer a wealth of attractions. Sri Lanka's compact size allows for easy exploration, while Indonesia's vastness provides endless opportunities for adventure and discovery. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on personal preferences and the specific experiences one seeks. However, I still fancy Sri Lanka though as she's a Full Package from North to South and East to West.

sri lanka is srilania not bali

❤

Sri Lanka is so much more than Bali, with the potential to be greater than what Bali can ever be. Instead of doubling down on tourism all the time we need to focus on our other industries. Remember, our people are extremely well educated compared to most Asian countries.

I think this lady does very good presentations. This is one. Yes, one should listen to the full length of the interview and not judge by the "catchy headline". That's how experienced smart bloggers create content. She is super smart , why the hell dosent SRI LANKA TOURISM take her as Brand Ambassador ?

intrepid 😂

World 🌍 one and only Sri Lanka❤❤

nice

How can SL become like successful tourist destination like Bali with government tourism policies? SL cannot attract 2million tourists in one year, where as other SEA nations are flooded with tourists.. Thanks to corrupted, outdated policies of SL.. You guys will never succeed as long as this regime stay in power.

Sri Lanka has the most waterfall density 😊❤

As a Professor of Facial Anthropology, I've had the opportunity to study various communities across Sri Lanka, including rural villages. In my fieldwork, I've noted a linguistic disparity among Sri Lankan village girls and women, with minimal English proficiency observed. However, your exceptional command of the language, particularly notable for someone from a rural background, is commendable. Moreover, my studies have led me to discern distinct facial morphologies between urban and rural Sri Lankans, reflecting unique environmental and cultural influences. Despite this, your visage embodies the quintessential traits of authenticity found in Sri Lankan village populations, evoking a sense of cultural richness and beauty. Coupled with your evident intellect and confidence, you present a compelling representation of the intersection between rural identity and linguistic aptitude.

We don’t want to Bali. Is everyone mad? These plans by clueless foreigners who have their own agenda have to be rejected. Any foreign person suggesting policy especially if they are American or English have to viewed with suspicion.

Metal steas svis a hygeine and gealth isdue pleas beware of that based on the sterilization mwthod

Sri Lanka is a Natural resource and good culture and beautiful people in the country.

We should be careful of over tourism a discussion taking place in Bali

I appreciate your efforts in here as these should done by the tourism department. I can't help but feel concerned about the challenges our country faces due to its current leadership. With more visionary and educated leadership, I believe we could better position ourselves to compete effectively on the global stage.

Shanell I think we should give more publicity about different unknown areas like Riverstone, Meemure and Waterfalls, of course they are famous among us but not among tourists

Sri Lanka Tourist Board commenced tourism in the 1970s in a very well planned manner. Bentota, Giritale, Sigiriya, Passikudah are a good examples But Arumgam bay, Hikkaduwa, Miriissa are examples of the unregulated areas. There is a certain carrying capacity where tourism can take place. The Tourism Authorities should ensure that the carrying capacity is not exceeded. For this we need a proper Blue print from Experts both local and foreigners in the industry. Then sustainable tourism can take place.

❤❤😊😊

sri lanka one ofmost beautiful country in the world❤ super tourists destination ❤❤❤❤

Thank you shenelle! For your thoughtful interaction.

You are joking! It will take another 20 decades to get in to that mentality with our politicos unfortunately. You guys saw the visa issues . What is more!!!
