OSL take:
The growth in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry is evident in the interest shown by international leisure and hospitality brands to do business in the country. Many international leisure and hospitality brands engaged in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry are investing more in operations in the country and looking at expansions as well as refurbishments in their operations in the country. With local tourism authorities engaged in continuous promotional campaigns and the exposure received by Sri Lanka in the international media, the business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry will see a further expansion. The success posted by international leisure and hospitality brands in their operations in Sri Lanka also serve to boost the confidence of other international leisure and hospitality brands to enter Sri Lanka’s tourism industry. Foreign businesses/investors could also look at the expanding opportunities in the development of infrastructure and supplementary infrastructure facilities required by Sri Lanka’s tourism industry in line with the increasing demand.
