Tourism Growth and Development

Sri Lanka's strategic initiatives to increase tourist arrivals and spending, including infrastructure projects at airports and national tourism targets for 2030. Reports on achieving 1.2 million tourist arrivals.

The enthusiasm is real, the infrastructure is coming, but mate, let's wait till the departure lounge isn't also a construction site before we start popping champagne.
