In many destinations, traditional arts and crafts have been passed down through generations, and become part of the culture of the destination.
Locally made arts and crafts are great holiday souvenirs for holidaymakers, and a great way for local communities to earn a living from tourism.
Dikwella lace centre is a great example of an arts and crafts cultural holiday experience...and there are so many traditional crafts all around the world to learn more about, so make it part of your next holiday experience!
In Sri Lanka, we've helped a group of women at Dikwella Lace Centre keep the tradition of bobbin lace making alive.
