Sri Lanka’s Colombo Dockyard builds underwater restaurant in the Maldives
Colombo Dockyard Plc of Sri Lanka has reportedly built an underwater restaurant, which has been commissioned at the super luxury tourist resort You and Me by Cocoon Maldives, in the Uthuru Maafaru Islands in the Republic of Maldives.
The local media has reported that this underwater restaurant project was built under a contract entered by Colombo Dockyard Plc with A. K. Diyabalanage of AKDA Engineers International Pvt Ltd, who had developed the design for the project.
The underwater restaurant is expected to give a magical, extraordinary and an exquisite dining experience under the clear blue sea, while enjoying the view of beautiful fish and marine life in the natural under water surroundings.
According to the local media, the first ever construction of an underwater restaurant structure by Colombo Dockyard shows the capability and versatility of Colombo Dockyard, to cater to clients varying requirements; from complex commercial vessels to exquisite, customized requirements in the hospitality industry.
OSL take:
The construction of the new underwater restaurant will undoubtedly open new avenues to market similar restaurant structures for the tourism industry in tourist hot spots worldwide. Also, similar underwater restaurants could be built in Sri Lanka since a local company now has the expertise and experience to construct such structures. Therefore, foreign businesses/investors engaged in the field of tourism could explore opportunities of investing in such a project in Sri Lanka or any other South Asian destination using Sri Lankan expertise.
