Being involved in this business and having a background in the field of tourism in the Netherlands I would like to give you my impression on the future of tourism in Sri Lanka.
The future regarding tourism in Sri Lanka looks bright. The investments in the tourism sector in Sri Lanka are encouraging. The country is ready to host an increasing number of tourists and business travelers. Although it is wonderful country for middle and low budget travelers, the government focuses on high- and mid-end market and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions). The island is strategically well situated and easy to access, while within a day time’s traveling all major touristic highlights can be visited; the island state is compact and very diverse in tourism sights.
