Tourism
Sri Lanka, the land of scenic surprises
and blessed with a pleasant tropical climate, is rich
in opportunities for tourism & leisure-related activities.
The competitive mix of tourist attractions and year

to be a successful non-traditional export, has emerged
as the fourth highest foreign exchange earner in Sri
Lanka. The BOI, recognizing the country's potential
as a prime tourist destination has identified tourism,
recreation and leisure projects as a priority area for
promoting both foreign & local investment.

in the tourism industry are in eco tourism, business
