COLOMBO [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Johnny-Townsend-Raiders-Jersey/]Johnny Townsend Limited Jersey[/url] , June 27 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka's Tourism Minister John Amaratunga on Tuesday vowed to look into the safety and health of tourists by advising restaurants and eating houses to maintain high quality standards.

In a ceremony to award certificates to restaurants who have been identified as Tourist Friendly Eating Places in capital Colombo, Amaratunga said the government was keen to ensure that Sri Lanka was a safe destination especially for tourists who were looking to enjoy a diverse cuisine.

He said the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) in collaboration with the Health Ministry and Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) had launched a project to encourage the upgrading of food safety, hygiene and service of eating places supplying food for foreign and local tourists.

The project is named as Certification Scheme For Tourist Friendly Eating Places.

Restaurants and Eating houses in Sigiriya, in the Central Province and Unawatuna in the south have already been graded and restaurants in capital Colombo are now under a check.

The Tourism Ministry, Health Ministry and CMC soon plan to expand this program to the outskirts of Colombo [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Nick-Nelson-Raiders-Jersey/]Nick Nelson Limited Jersey[/url] , the Central Hills of Kandy and Galle, in the south.

""It is important to take this program to the other touristic destinations in Sri Lanka. Today tourists who come to Sri Lanka do not stick to Colombo alone. They travel in other parts as well. Therefore the government wants to ensure that their health and safety is ensured,"" Amaratunga said.

""It is our responsibility to ensure that restaurants and eating houses maintain a basic standard. So that tourists and locals do not suffer from any disease or discomfort from consuming food. We must ensure that this is carried in all parts of the country,"" he added.

Based upon the inspection scores, on Tuesday [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Arden-Key-Raiders-Jersey/]Arden Key Limited Jersey[/url] , 25 eating houses in the CMC area were awarded the Grade A and Grade B certification.

A total of 50 eating houses were inspected in Colombo.

Amaratunga said the remaining 25 restaurants will receive their certification after they improve their standards.

""Our objective is to ensure that tourists enjoy remarkable experiences during their stay in Sri Lanka. Colombo, being the island's capital city, is one of the famous destinations among the foreign and local tourists and we need dynamic strategies to improve standards and quality on services that are offered to tourists,"" Director General of SLTDA, M. Kiriella said.

Sri Lanka received about 2 million tourists last year and this year the island country is expecting 2.5 million tourists.

" Argentina offers a host of great vacation activities. You can admire volcanic landscapes, lakes, forests [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Mario-Edwards-Jr-Raiders-Jersey/]Mario Edwards Jr Limited Jersey[/url] , canyons and waterfalls, and shop in the chic boutiques of Buenos Aires. But to taste the spirit of the country, try these quintessential Argentinean activities - tango tours, wine tasting in the Andes, and whale watching. You'll have a vacation like no other and touch the beating heart of Argentina.



Tango
To connect with the spirit of Argentina [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Karl-Joseph-Raiders-Jersey/]Karl Joseph Limited Jersey[/url] , you need to immerse yourself in the national dance, the tango. In fact, the tango is more than just a set of dance steps; it's an expression of the spirit and passion of the people. The tango has its origins in the bawdy houses of late 19th century Buenos Aires. It was spurned by the upper classes for many decades but it finally captured their hearts. In fact, the Perons were great aficionados of the tango. Later, rock and roll nudged the tango out of favour for a while [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/David-Sharpe-Raiders-Jersey/]David Sharpe Limited Jersey[/url] , but it didn't stay down for long.
Nowadays, the tango is undergoing a definite renaissance and you can take many tours devoted to this sultry dance culture. Not only will you learn to master this most sensual of dances, but you'll have vibrant nights out in this passionate city that few tourists get to see.
In the daytime, other than taking tango lessons, you can visit tango museums to study the culture [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Eddie-Vanderdoes-Raiders-Jersey/]Eddie Vanderdoes Limited Jersey[/url] , traditions and milestones of the Argentine Tango. Many of these museums are the converted residences of former tango stars.



Wines
The next key to the Argentine heart is to learn all about the country's wines. Argentina is a producer of world-class wines and a tour not only allows you to swirl them around your palate but also to experience one of the country's most evocative regions, that of sun kissed Mendoza which nestles at the base of the Andes. A two-hour flight from the capital, Mendoza has been the hub of Argentina's wine country since European settlers brought the art of winemaking in the 19th century. Nowadays, Mendoza is home to more than one thousand wineries.
Mendoza offers many wine tasting tours to the many wineries of bogegas as they're known locally. Mendoza is also home to the continent's largest wine museum. If you're a real wine lover, try and go in March when the week-long Vendimia Festival is held. It commemorates the gathering of grape crop with a range of events at the bogodas.



Whales
The next unique Argentinean tour takes you to windswept Patagonia to watch the whales in Peninsula Vald?s. Some 600-700 whales sport offshore here during their mating season.
If you want to see the whales [url=http://www.raidersfootballpro.com/Obi-Melifonwu-Raiders-Jersey/]Obi Melifonwu Limited Jersey[/url] , you'll have to time your visit carefully. The season for whale watching runs from May to December, with September and October being the best months. This is when the whales come to the peninsular for their m. [url=http://www.wholesalecheapjerseysnhl.com/]Wholesale Jerseys China[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalecheapjerseysnba.com/]Wholesale NBA Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalecheapjerseysmlb.com/]Wholesale MLB Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalecheapjerseyscollege.com/]Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap[/url]   [url=http://www.soccerchinajerseyscheap.com/]Soccer Jerseys Wholesale[/url]   [url=http://www.nhlchinajerseyscheap.com/]Adidas NHL Jerseys Cheap[/url]   [url=http://www.mlbchinajerseyscheap.com/]Baseball Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=http://www.hockeynhljerseyscheap.com/]New NHL Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=http://www.footballnfljerseyscheap.com/]Authentic Jerseys Cheap[/url]   [url=http://www.footballnflcheapjerseys.com/]Football Jerseys Free Shipping[/url]
