BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, August 22, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Sri Lanka is this year's big success story: official tourist figures show UK visits up 51 per cent this July compared to last, while long-haul specialist
Hayes & Jarvis (0871 664 0246) reports that forward bookings for winter and next summer are already up more than 50 per cent, on the back of substantial discounting by airlines and hoteliers. So whether it is to relax on a sandy palm-fringed beach, explore temples and World Heritage Sites, learn about the tea-making process or to meet orphaned elephants, Sri Lanka is shaping up to be one of the best value destinations available to cash-strapped UK tourists.
Holidaymakers who can book by 31 August can make savings of up to 30 per cent on trips in October. Prices start from just GBP649 for a seven-night All Inclusive holiday and GBP699 for a two-week B&B break.

Mermaid Hotel & Club, now available for just GBP649 per person (saving 13 per cent including one free night), departing on 1 October.
