Through tourism, we can promote all corners of this wonderful world in which we live. The core emphasis of the Mrs. Tourism beauty pageant has always been to promote the host country of each year’s final highlighting the region’s tourism profile and therefore, benefiting the country, since each elected beauty is made a Tourism Ambassador for her country, poised to showcase her nation and its culture and tradition.
Youth Observer had the pleasure of talking to a personality, who was able to give her crown a voice over the years in the pageant industry winning on international platforms and is currently the National Director of Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka 2022; Thilini De Silva.
Thilini De Silva holds a degree in Bachelor of Human Resource Management. She received her education at Ananda Girls’ College, Colombo and at St. Paul’s Girls’ College, Colombo 4.
She has studied beauty and hairdressing in Sri Lanka and internationally. She is the owner of a beauty salon as well as Director of Gold Ray Productions. As a social activist, she aims to play a dignified role in the society for the well-being of women and children as well as religious co-existence.
Thilini De Silva’s commitment in uplifting the Sri Lankan tourism industry has become her main objective of life. She presents her vision and suggestions on that; “The education system in Sri Lanka needs to change. Education must be equipped with a goal that can even be geared towards international employment opportunities. The promotion of local products should also be encouraged. Looking at the challenges we face as a country today, we can gain international attraction by building the future of Sri Lanka.
“No other country in the world has a unique and different climate, food and beverages, endemic flora, clean water and a cultural heritage. If we understand this situation and manage it properly, we can make our country a tourist paradise without any hindrance.
“Everyone in our country, big or small, has a responsibility to make a commitment to uplift the nation. We Sri Lankans, who are born with the highest level of hospitality, will no doubt be attractive to tourists,” she said.
The current situation is not a good time for people in any country, locally or internationally. We need to consider how to overcome the economic, social and political difficulties that have arisen and still continue to arise while the Covid-19 pandemic has spread around the globe.
There are many reasons as to why tourism attraction is so strong and stable in a country in the Asian region like Sri Lanka; the climate, the unique food and beverages and the beautiful ecosystems along with the cultural features tend to amuse the tourists.
We are at a time where we need to take notice of how our country needs to attract foreign tourists. Mrs. Thilini De Silva, who is the national director of the Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka 2022 pageant, was once the crown bearer of Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka International 2019, Mrs. Universe Famous China 2019, Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka Ambassador Philippines 2019 and Mrs. Best Catwalk 2019.
Thilini De Silva has been instrumental in elevating Sri Lanka to international prominence throughout the years. She is also the director of Golden Ray Productions and is considered as a woman who was able and still continues to bring fame to Sri Lanka. As the national director of the Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka 2022 pageant, she invites all those beautiful married, divorced, widowed and even separated personalities out there to experience and win internationally and to be a part of the Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka 2022 pageant powered by Gold Ray Productions.
Married women, your contribution will be invaluable in representing our beautiful Sri Lanka by participating in the Mrs. Tourism Sri Lanka 2022 pageant to be held in UAE in September 2022.
There is an ancient saying by the American poet, William Ross Wallace: “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world”. Therefore it is also the responsibility of wise husbands to encourage your beautiful and intelligent wives to proudly take the future direction of the motherland to the international arena.
