If a democratic government that respects human rights were in power, there could be many more tourists.

Die Frage ist wer kommt als Tourist nach Sri Lanka, was ich sehe ist nicht die Elite und die Leute mit Geld aus westlichen Ländern. War gestern in Bento, all Hotels leer. War in Negombe das selbe. 3 Gäste im Heritage Hotel davon wir 2.

The objective of tomorrow's mass protest is to reduce this tourist arrival number to less than 5000. These bastards cannot stand ant positive development.
