INTRODUCTION

Sri Lanka is a country famous for hospitality, tourism and well being people from the past. Once Marco Polo has told in 1293 A.D., ‘this for its actual size, is better circumstanced than any other island in the world. The island produces more beautiful and valuable rubies than found in any other place in the world. In this island there is a very high mountains where the tomb of Adam, our first parent, is supposed to be found.’

(Ref:http://www.traveldailynews.com/pages/show_page/31677-Sri-Lanka-Tourism—Quo-vadis- )

But since from the near past (1980s’) Sri Lankan tourism industry dropped step by step, as LTTEs started their terrorism mainly from the North part of Sri Lanka and spread to East and other parts of the country later on.

Fortunately now Sri Lanka is free from terrorism after about 3 decades. Therefore the country is safe to roam from North to South & East to West without any double thoughts.

THE PROBLEMS OCCURED IN SRI LANKAN TOURISM INDUSTRY DUE TO WAR

Sri Lanka experienced a vastly fluctuating tourism during the past decades.

(Ref: http://www.traveldailynews.com/pages/show_page/31677-Sri-Lanka-Tourism—Quo-vadis- )

As per the World Tourism Organisation figures, tourist arrivals has increased in Asian countries for the past decade.

(Ref: http://www.traveldailynews.com/pages/show_page/31677-Sri-Lanka-Tourism—Quo-vadis- )

But Sri Lanka has dropped tourist arrivals.

(Ref: Central Bank of Sri Lanka)

While all the other foreign exchange earning sectors have increased their earnings, tourism has decreased though it is the fourth largest foreign exchange earning sector.

(Ref: http://www.traveldailynews.com/pages/show_page/31677-Sri-Lanka-Tourism—Quo-vadis- )

Bombing in buses and tourist destinations caused a huge draw back in tourist arrivals. Even though Sri Lankan tourist board offers them worth packages they didn’t want to visit Sri Lanka because of the safety reason.

(Ref: http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=47983 )

Bad press releases during the war time, both internally and internationally affected vastly tourists decisions on Sri Lanka. Some were distributed only to get political gains and some were to draw a bad picture on tourists’ mind about Sri Lanka and get advantages.

Higher insurance covers had prompted tourists to see elsewhere. Insurance covers were high because of the high risk level of security within the country.

(Ref: National Strategy for Sri Lankan Tourism- page no: 15)

Good employees of tourism industry have gone to other countries due to poor salaries and lack of opportunities among the industry.

Lack of government support in promoting the industry according to the changes in the market.

AFFECTS OF NEW BORN PEACE

TO INVESTORS

During the past 3 decades investors for tourism industry were locked within the Southern & Middle part of the country. But now they have the opportunity to invest in all over the country as they wish. Especially in North & East regions which has most famous places to visit such as most beautiful beaches, temples, etc. with the end of war, tourist arrivals may increase. Therefore the government and the private sector has to be ready to welcome them with good accommodation facilities, infrastructure, transportation facilities, and many more. For that investors can invest in the new environment which is more favourable to them. Some of the favourable are,

Cost of doing business has reduced due to the end of war. Freight rates, insurance, and other financial issues which added a huge cost for business has now decreased. Therefore investors can get more profits over their investments.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html )

Political stability is growing especially in areas of North & East. This leads to stability in policies and rules. Therefore investors can invest in long-term projects.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/FT335.html )

The government of Sri Lanka has started providing infrastructure such as roads, power, and ports. This also again reduce investors costs in investing.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html)

Stock market has climbed over 96% in 2009 which is the winning year of the war. It’ll be more profitable in investing stock market in future.

(Ref: http://www.srilankaequity.com/2009/12/sri-lanka-back-on-investment-radar.html )

Interest Rates and Inflation rate are coming down.

The Sri Lankan government has reduced their lending rates and has asked the private sector to reduce their lending rates. This is a very usefull and profitable information who wishes to borrow fund in Sri Lanka.

(Ref: http://www.srilankaequity.com/2009/12/sri-lanka-back-on-investment-radar.html )

The end of war has cleared new paths for new investment opportunities across real estate, healthcare, plantation, and infrastructure. Especially in North and East regions for about 3 decades there were no opportunities for any industry to do their work freely. What was there is only war. Therefore there are opportunities for hospitals and other healthcare facilities, plantation as this region has the most rich lands and infrastructure as all the infrastructures have been destroyed during war season. These are indirectly interconnected to tourism industry. Because tourism industry is a industry which depends on other industries other than the destinations.

(Ref: http://www.srilankaequity.com/2009/12/sri-lanka-back-on-investment-radar.html )

Cheap labour

Investors can have cheap labour in to their businesses ass the unemployment is more in North and East.

New tourist destinations.

There are new and marvellous locations and places in North and East which were not allowed to visit for about three decades. These places will be more tourist attracting destinations in future.

And also the ruined buildings and places due to war will be attracting sceneries for both local and foreign tourists.

As the Northern and Eastern areas were banned for visitors during the war period, both local people and foreign people are willing to visit these places. Therefore the arrivals of visitors for the North and East will be more and this will lead investors to earn more from those areas by investing in accommodation facilities, infrastructure, transportation, sports activities and leisure activities.

Sri Lankan government is looking for Middle eastern investors to develop the resorts as a preparation for the boost in tourism industry.

(Ref: http://www.arabianbusiness.com/554986-sri-lanka-tourism-eyes-mideast-investors )

MSME will have more opportunities to develop their business with growth in tourism.

There will be more ports other than Colombo to use. They are the Trincomalee port and The Hambantota port. Earlier these ports were used only for military activities but now they are open for common activities.

FOR TOURISTS

New born peace has given a new life for both domestic and international tourists. Specially Northern and Eastern areas are the most attracting areas of tourists these days because of the unseen destinations such as temples, beaches, ruins, etc. Also the current favourable security level has given tourists a boom. Here are some more tips for the change in tourists’ behaviour.

New unseen locations.

Tourists, both local and foreign can experience world famous and beautiful locations which are not polluted or crowded. Especially the Eastern sea and Nilavelli beach are the most attracting areas in the Eastern region. Other attracting things are whale spotting, fishing, water sports, sea rafting. Also the locations with historical value and religious value, especially in Northern area, such as Nagadeepa, Jaffna library, ruins of war, etc.

Not only in North & East, tourists can visit other places such as Anuradapura, Polonnaruwa, Mohinthale, Sigiriya, Sinharaja rain forest, National Parks, hill-country which is famous as little England, etc.

Safety

Now Sri Lanka is free from bombs, suicide bombers, and terrorism. Therefore people can visit anywhere in the country without fearing about safety from LTTE activities. This was the main reason which reduced more and more tourist arrivals. But now it is fully solved. So tourists have the opportunity to explore Sri Lanka without fear.

Proper Facilities

The Sri Lankan government and the private sector is building infrastructure fast to provide proper facilities for tourists such as roads, power and ports.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html)

Also proper places for accommodation and other facilities are building up so that the tourists may feel that they are at home.

More leisure and sports activities

Sri Lankan sea is famous for sports activities. And now tourists have more opportunities in Eastern Sea. Because Eastern sea is known as a sea which is very calm and good for sports activities such as rafting, whale spotting. Also Sri Lanka has a unchanging whether throughout the year. Therefore tourists can come and enjoy whenever they have leisure time.

Stable political environment

As now Sri Lanka is bit stable in their political status due to the end of war. Therefore policies and rules in tourism especially rules in arriving will be stable. So that it’ll be very easy for tourists while visiting Sri Lanka especially on Visas.

And there will be less political violence among the country which will create a peaceful environment for tourists.

New resorts for both local and foreign tourists especially in Nothern and Eastern areas. Also in other areas as the investors are interested in investing tourism sector.

Example: Kuchchaveli resort

Passikudah resort

Sri Lanka is not famous only for leisure tourists but also for pilgrims. Therefore Pilgrim rests are building in order to provide proper facilities especially for domestic tourists.

(Ref: National Strategy For Sri Lankan Tourism- page no 61)

More facilities for business tourists.

Sri Lanka was famous for MICE activities in the past. But it dropped due to the poor security. Now again MICE activities are booming in Sri Lanka with the new born peace. Therefore the government is looking to provide better facilities for businessmen who come to Sri Lanka for MICE activities.

Tourists will be able to arrive Sri Lanka not only by air but also by cruise ships as now Sri Lanka has 2 more ports. Trincomalee port and Hambantota port are the two new ports which has started work after war.

TO AREAS AND REGIONS

After the war especially the Northern and Eastern regions have started to develop fast. Also the other areas of the country are developing faster as the governments’ military cost has reduced. This helps in developing tourism industry. For examples,

The local areas are developing as the government has already started developing infrastructure in North and East regions.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html)

Kuchchaveli Resort

This is a area about 500 acres in Trincomalee district which is inbetween the North Nilaweli beach and Kuchchaveli village. This resort contains hotels, other facilities regarding accommodation, land and water based sports and a theme park. This will help in attracting more tourists in future.

(Ref: http://www.sltda.lk/eastern_region_development )

Passikudah project

SLTDA has planned to restart the Passikudah resort project which was planned to start in 1983 and stopped due to war. This resort is located by the Passikudah bay and contains 500 rooms in about 150 acres. This project will also generate high tourist arrivals.

(Ref: http://www.sltda.lk/passikudah_project )

Trincomalee and Hambantota ports will be busy with commercial ships and cruise ships with visitors and goods.

TO SOCIAL LIFE AND LOCAL PEOPLE

Peace has changed the social lives of people especially in the parts where fighting were there. Those people did not know anything about outside apart from those areas which they live. But now the situation is changed. People are free to open up to the world. Many have started to work with the tourism industry because of the huge number of tourists arrivals. People from other parts of the country are also free to live their lives without the fear of terrorism. They are more common in North and East as domestic tourists. because they were not allowed to visit those places for about 3 decades and the people from North and East are free to visit other South part of Sri Lanka after 3 decades. Here are some of the affect of the end of war to the social life and local people from the view point of tourism.

Political stability is growing. so that people are able to stay wherever they want to stay and they are free to visit wherever they want. Also the rules and policies of regarding business will remain same. Therefore local people can start small scale businesses such as small hotels, guest houses, rent three-wheelers, batik, etc. especially in tourist areas.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html)

Government has started to work with infrastructure especially in North and East areas. Therefore its be easy and fast to develop tourist oriented businesses as well as other businesses in those areas.

(Ref: http://sundaytimes.lk/090628/FinancialTimes/ft335.html)

Interest rates and inflation is decreasing. So that people may borrow money and invest in their businesses and build their damaged properties. And this will create a beautiful eye-catching areas for tourists. also the prices of goods will decrease due to lower inflation and it will create wealth among people.

There will be more employment opportunities with the incensement in tourist arrivals and other tourism activities in all over the country.

People will have more money with them so that they will be motivated to visit places and go for day outs, picnics and trips.

More fishing opportunities in North and East.

Tourism police will have to be expanded to stop drug trafficking, prostitution and abuse of children with the full support of the courts, local people and politicians as the tourism industry grows.
