The mechanism
Every city has one thing it could be known for, and each is currently known for nothing in particular.
The 10 ideas
- 476Colombo: a night market on the Galle Face green run to a standard, every weekend
- 477Colombo: the Pettah as a managed market street, cleaned, lit and sold to visitors as the best bazaar in Asia
- 478Kandy: the lake promenade with cafés and evening performances, not only the temple
- 479Galle: a residents' company that owns the Fort's tourist lets and keeps the residents in
- 480Jaffna: a culinary capital, the crab and the palmyrah sold as a cuisine
- 481Trincomalee: the harbour as a sailing and diving centre for the Bay of Bengal
- 482Negombo: the fish market and the canals as Sri Lanka's Venice, done before the residents leave
- 483Nuwara Eliya: a cool-climate wellness and tea town, not a faded hill station
- 484Anuradhapura: a pilgrim city with lodging, food and interpretation to match its sacredness
- 485Hambantota: an industrial estate for the processors in this list
