OSL take:
Several Sri Lankan resorts making to the Top 20 of the travel publication Condé Nast Traveller’s list of best resort destinations in Asia is yet another boost to Sri Lanka’s growing tourism industry. Sri Lanka is fast becoming a popular tourist destination with foreign media recently reporting that Australians prefer to holiday in Sri Lanka than in Bali, Indonesia. Given the growth recorded by Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, interested foreign businesses/investors could look at investing in the island nation’s leisure and hospitality sector.
