International Sports Tourism Development

Sri Lanka is promoting itself as an international sports tourism destination through government-approved international sports events. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is supporting rugby tours and sports festivals scheduled for the coming months.

So Sri Lanka's big play for sports tourism is... rugby AND cricket? That's like a restaurant trying to become famous for both sushi and deep-fried everything—sure, someone will show up, but mostly they'll be confused about what they signed up for. Meanwhile the Northampton Saints are probably wondering if this T20 match counts as an away game or just a really expensive team-building exercise.
