Chairperson of Sri Lanka Tourism, Kimarli Fernando tendered her resignation to Tourism Minister Harin Fernando today, claiming that she could not meet the Minister to review progress and discuss matters related to the Tourism Industry.

Fernando, in the letter claimed it was regrettable and unprofessional that she could not meet the Minister to review progress, to guide on the best practices adopted, as the Minister intended to appoint a new Chairman and Board of Directors.

“Two meetings that you fixed for 21 and 23 May were cancelled. Especially at this critical time for the nation, when tourism would provide the fastest hard currency benefits, the cavalier attitude you have displayed does not bode well. I hope I am proved wrong,” Fernando claimed in her resignation letter.

Regrettable, but things were not as rosy as it was to be for sometime at SLTB. This was expected

Naturally Harin is also not interested in promoting tourism like his God Father Ranil, who took it as a joke when interviewed by foreign media !

The worst Tourism Chief SLTDA got was this woman. Also brought no revenue to the industry.

Why would someone meet the boss when on the verge of being kicked out? To review progress? Then ego.

First we need to get the country in order and take care of the citizens before you think about tourists.

Did the Chairperson carry out her duties or created issues? She did not accept the Associations, created her own teams and now would happen to them?
