End of a 30 year cruel war, restoration of peace and political stability  has made the prestigious New York Times January 10, 2010 issue list Sri Lanka as number one destination to travel.

This listing is another feather in the cap of the present leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, hailed as a leader who completely crushed the  world’s leading terror outfit, the LTTE which waged a bloody war for three decades.

The President crushed the LTTE completely much to the surprise of the entire international community that saw the ruthless terror group as an undefeatable outfit.

The New York Times in its ” Thirty one places to go in 2010″,Sri Lanka is reviewed by travel writer Lionel Beehner who said,” The conclusion of the war has open the eyes of the world” adding that the island nation was rich in beauty and cultural splendors.

The writer has also hailed tourist locations in the North and East as attractive  tourist areas with stylish resorts and, boutique hotels and guest houses to cater to needs of tourists.
