This strategic movement will aim to improve places like the Eastern coast, renowned for its beauty. For instance, discovering the appealing places to visit in Pasikuda, with its idyllic beaches, could see significant promotion. Furthermore, quality establishments such as Amethyst Resort, nestled in such promising locations, stand to benefit from a revitalised tourism landscape. This industry-government partnership shows a concerted effort to increase Sri Lanka’s appeal as a travel destination worldwide.
