When Ravana had a vast aviation network

Colombo: In its efforts to hard sell the Sri Lankan tourism sector with immediate focus on sites relating to 'Ramayana', the island nation's Tourism Development Authority has included former cricket star Arjuna Ranatunga as a member of the delegation to tour India next week.
The delegation will meet senior Indian tourism officials on January 16 and present a 45-minute film on 'Ramayana' trails in the island country, he said, adding efforts would be made to attract several Indian devouts to Sri Lanka.
A Sri Lankan tourism team had earlier also spent a few days in India to seek guidance and help in sequencing and authenticating the facts related to Ramayana, especially in the island country.
The film also explains the probability of Ravana having a vast aviation network to support his gliders.
