This event would definitely help increase tourists to the island. This should also be taken as an opportunity to develop the commercial capitol of Srilanka – Colombo while we celebrate the elimination of terrorism this month.

Think of this opportunity to show the world what an amazing nation we are! Let us all put aside petty issues and make sure that nothing that is of defamatory to our motherland happens this time (like the Shah Rukh Khan incident that happened before) but concentrate on uplifting the name of our motherland Srilanka. We must SHOW this to the world. No use of preaching fancy words but let's SHOW this by example
