Euromonitor: Bright future for tourism in Sri Lanka

A report into Sri Lanka's tourism has confirmed that the Indian Ocean island currently offers some of the region's best opportunities for investment. The report – produced by Euromonitor International - is not uncritical: infrastructure still needs to be improved; airport capacity is lagging behind demand and telecom connectivity is still a problem. But it goes on to say that these issues are being addressed by a Sri Lankan government that has realised the golden opportunity that tourism offers the island as it emerges from years of conflict.
