OSL take:
The increasing number of flights being operated by international airlines to Sri Lanka indicate the country’s steadily growing tourism industry as well as the overall expansion of the country’s overall economy. The increasing number of foreign travelers to the country while indicating an expansion in the tourism industry, also indicates the growth in the country’s airport and aviation industry as well. All these expansions have opened many business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism as well as airport and aviation industries. With Sri Lanka on the path to becoming a hub in the South Asian region, these opportunities will see a further expansion and would cover many sectors under these industries as well. Considering all these factors, and the increasing business potential in Sri Lanka, foreign businesses/investors could confidently explore the expanding business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism as well as airport and aviation industries and related sectors.
