Low cost cottages for tourists
COLOMBO: The Ministry of Tourism will introduce a project to
unveil low cost tourist houses (cottages) for local tourists.
As a first step, tourist houses set up in Mihintale for the use of
devotees coming to Anuradhapura and Mihintale to attend Poson
celebrations will be handed over to the public at a ceremony on May 17
at 2.00 p.m. with the participation of the Maha Sanga.
A committee headed by Ven. Walahahengunawewe Dharmarathana Thera, the
Raja Maha Viharadhipathi Mihintalaya will look into the management of
these houses meant for devotees, during the season.
The Government will spend around Rs. 20 million for this project. The
Ministry plans to have similar houses in Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya and
Kataragama Kirivehera, Ministry sources said. |
