OSL take:

Sri Lanka’s tourism industry is once again on the recovery path with local tourism authorities engaged in promotional campaigns in key tourist source markets while also exploring new tourism concepts to be promoted. Most of the promotional campaigns are being carried out in collaboration with Sri Lanka’s missions overseas. Sri Lanka has already received much exposure in the international media as a must visit tourist destination with several global travel publications listing the country among the top island destinations. All these developments have portrayed the growth and business potential in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, especially in the leisure and hospitality sectors. Many foreign leisure and hospitality brands have expressed interest in entering the country’s tourism industry. Given the expansion in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, foreign businesses/investors could confidently explore the growing opportunities in the industry.
