While on a tour of tourist destinations along Sri Lanka’s south coast, President Ranil Wickremesinghe engaged with local business owners, foreign visitors, and domestic tourists to gather feedback on the government’s initiatives to revitalize the tourism industry and attract high-spending travelers.
Through these conversations in Galle, Unawatuna, Tangalle, and other locations, the President assessed firsthand how infrastructure upgrades and innovative promotion campaigns have impacted tourism operations.
He also solicited ideas from stakeholders on further enhancing facilities and marketing strategies to build on the sector’s post-pandemic recovery momentum.
By actively listening to perspectives from across the tourism landscape, President Wickremesinghe aimed to shape policies that will help Sri Lanka surpass its pre-Covid visitor numbers and realize the goal of attracting 2.5 million tourists annually by 2024.
