Sri Lanka has become a target for drug dealers with the influx of inbound tourism. Most of the tourists are leisure travelers looking for pleasure. Drugs, prostitution, child sex and anything evil under the sun are now freely available at a price. Most of the drugs are brought to from Pakistan and other middle east countries.

Tourists arriving in Cruise ships are more likely to traffic and use drugs due to the freedom they enjoy during the voyage and difficulty in checking what they carry out of the port to join tour groups.
