Yala National Park has become very attractive to the foreign tourists and the Park is reported to be overcrowded during the entire year. In order to ease the congestion the Wildlife Department has launched a programme to develop other national parks countrywide.

Director General of Wildlife Conservation H. D. Ratnayake said that about 1,000 foreign tourists visit the Yala National Park each day, and it has become the most popular of 22 parks in the country. He said that some days the Yala Parak becomes unable to accommodate all the visitors.

Ratnayake said that arrangements have also been made to expand the Yala National Park extending its land area and further developing the facilities available at present.

He said that steps are also being taken to improve facilities in several other Parks such as Gal Oya, Wasgomuwa, Maduru Oya and Somawathiya in order to divert the tourists to these parks as well. (niz).
