The Sri Lankan army's spokesperson, Ruwan Wanigasooriya, announced the Army's burgeoning 'Laya' (meaning tranquility in Sanskrit) brand of tourism.
Along with Laya Beach resort in Waduwa, Laya Leisure resort in Kukuleganga, the army will now open Laya Safari - a jungle beach resort near the southern aspect of Hambantota.
Being constructed by none other than the army's very own Engineer Service Regiment, all three resorts will be staffed by military officers.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
