OSL take:
Sri Lanka is engaged in many forms of promotional campaigns to build the country’s attractiveness as a travel destination. Sri Lanka’s tourism industry was one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the country when the global Covid 19 pandemic brought about global travel restrictions. However, the industry is once again on the path to recovery with foreign tourists returning to the country since the reopening of it’s borders. Foreign travellers to the country are bound to increase with Sri Lanka is fast becoming a business hub in the South Asian region. This has resulted in many international hospitality brands showing interest in entering the country. Foreign businesses/investors could therefore explore business opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry.
