According to him, the Galle Port has already become one of the key attractions for Western tourists and that they often love sailing in this area watching the beautiful sceneries around. Tourists staying in 5-star hotels in Galle engage in many different activities in this area, and it is hoped that the new Yacht Marina will attract more of them, once built. Galle has seen many improvements in its regional tourism sector and one of them includes the establishment of great accommodation optionsthe likes of Le Grand Galle in the area.
