Sri Lanka’s Government Information Department has reportedly stated that Dubai’s One Nature luxury hotel group is to lease land near Sri Lanka’s southern coast nature reserve in Yala to build a resort with 28 chalets.
The Government Information Department has stated that the Cabinet of Ministers had this week approved a proposal to give seven acres at Palatupana, Yala, to One Nature on a long term lease of 50-years.
The Dubai luxury boutique hotel group offers nature-based adventure tourism and operates the Nyaruswiga Safari Camp in the Serengeti, Tanzania.
According to reports, another one, the Orangi River Safari Lodge, is under construction.
OSL take:
Foreign investments into Sri Lanka’s tourism sector are beginning to see a growth as the country has shown impressive resilience and recorded a quick return to normalcy following the Easter Sunday attacks in April. Tourist arrivals to the country have seen a steady growth with the month of July recording an 83 percent increase in tourist arrivals to the country when compared with the month of June. Sri Lanka continues to maintain the top slot as the destination of the year in several leading global travel publications. Tourism authorities are engaged in many tourism promotional activities including the introduction of a visa free programme as well as attractive packages/deals for the foreign traveller. Sri Lanka’s tourism sector is once again in its growth/development path. All this has resulted in the expansion of business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism sector.
