6th ANNUAL ELEPHANT POLO TOURNAMENT, GALLE, SRI LANKA

 

From the 14th – 17th February 2007, at least eight international

teams will be fighting it out at the southern seaside town of Galle,

Sri Lanka to participate in the 6th Annual International Elephant

Tournament. This interesting and incredibly exciting game will be

played by the magnificent historical ramparts of the World Heritage

Fort of Galle, Sri Lanka.

 

The tournament is hosted by CEPA (Ceylon Elephant Polo Association).

CEPA was originated by Geoffrey Dobbs and it was Geoffrey that bought

Elephant Polo to Sri Lanka to develop up-market tourism in the country

and bring attention to the plight of the Asian elephant. Geoffrey is a

convivial boutique hotelier who has also pioneered the revival of

luxury tourism in this Island oasis of serendipity. With a natural

passion for sport, and a keen interest in raising the profile of Sri

Lanka, Geoffrey Dobbs is also a strong campaigner for elephant

conservation.

 

The popularity and success of this tournament reflects the growing

interest in Sri Lanka as a leading tourist destination, with its South

coast rapidly developing as the alternative Riviera of choice to those

long established in the Mediterranean. Whether you are a player or a

spectator the weeks events provide those with a unique and memorable

experience in Sri Lanka.

It is now up to the animal welfare/rights/conservation organisations to

orchestrate the protest and coordinate amongst themselves.
