Award winning Australian fashion and travel content creator Luana Ostling gave Sri Lanka a boost during a recent visit to the island.
Ostling, who was invited to support Sri Lanka’s tourism, experienced some of the best locations in the country, including Yala, Weligama and Colombo.
“To be entrusted by a country to help represent its culture, experiences and people on a global stage is a significant professional milestone, and one I do not take lightly,” she said in a post on Instagram.
Ostling also celebrated the New Year in Sri Lanka with her partner, who she will be marrying later this year.
Sri Lanka Tourism said that Luana’s storytelling took Sri Lanka’s magic to a global audience, capturing everything from serene tea plantations and misty mountain landscapes to sun-kissed beaches and vibrant local culture.
Her journey emphasizes the island’s diversity, blending adventure, romance, wellness, and cultural immersion, ensuring every traveler discovers something uniquely memorable.
“Through Luana Ostling’s journey, we aim to showcase Sri Lanka as a destination that inspires, delights, and rejuvenates. From luxury escapes to authentic cultural experiences, travelers will see that Sri Lanka is not only safe but also ready to offer world-class travel experiences in 2026,” Sri Lanka Tourism said.
Sri Lanka Tourism said that Luana’s visit is expected to inspire travelers from Australia, the UK, and beyond to experience the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Her content will highlight not only Sri Lanka’s picturesque landscapes and luxury offerings but also its warm hospitality, post-crisis resilience, and rich heritage.
