OSL take:
The opening of a new leisure resort in Sri Lanka’s southern coastal town of Galle is indicative of the expansion experienced in the country’s tourism sector. Foreign companies could look at forming partnerships with local companies in order to engage in tourism related projects in Sri Lanka. The country’s tourism sector is on an upward climb and investments in the sector would yield good results.
