Sri Lanka’s Tourism Adapting to Challenges to Welcome Tourists

Sri Lanka is going through its most challenging economic crisis right now with fuel shortages, power cuts, protests, and a 4-day work week for its government sector employees. The tourism industry is also taking a direct hit due to the shortage of fuel, gas, and other staples. Amidst the challenges, however, hotels and resorts in Sri Lanka are doing a commendable job in adapting and overcoming these difficult times, still retaining so many guests.

Many tourists arriving in Colombo can be seen choosing travel destinations closer to Colombo due to the shortage of fuel, including Negombo, Kalutara, and Bentota. Avani Kalutara Resort is a famous Kalutara resort among both locals and foreigners that is still experiencing a significant number of guests due to its popularity and commendable hospitality service.
