Celebrating World Tourism Day 2021
President's World Tourism Day Message
A country of historical, environmental and climatic value, Sri Lanka has been a tourist destination since ancient times.
The tourism industry which brings foreign exchange to the country by providing various tourism services; remained inactive with the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, with the increasing travel approvals from various parts of the world, the tourist focus on Sri Lanka has also risen.
Therefore, the Government’s focus on resuming the tourism industry in Sri Lanka in accordance with all quarantine rules will be a consolation to all those involved in the tourism sector.
Today I take the opportunity to invite tourists around the world to visit Sri Lanka to enjoy its beauty and to embark on a soulful journey.
