Sri Lanka also heavily relies on tourism to support its economy, said Dr. Palitha Kohona, the Ambassador of Sri Lanka to China.

Addressing the World Tourism Cities Federation Changsha Fragrant Hills Tourism Summit 2023, in Changsha, China, the ambassador highlighted the richness of Sri Lanka's food, tea, ancient cities, Buddhist culture and biodiversity.

He extended a warm invitation to tourists from around the world to visit Sri Lanka and experience its beauty and hospitality.

A special forum for foreign ambassadors to China was organized during the Summit, themed "Tourism Recovery: Challenges and Cooperation". Eight ambassadors to China from Colombia, Ethiopia, Jordan, Malta, Moldova, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Trinidad and Tobago attended the Forum.

They shared their countries' resources and innovative measures for tourism recovery and discussed emerging trends and needs in the global tourism landscape. Tian Wei, a host from CMG-CGTN, moderated the forum.(Navodya Pawani in China)

We should learn the lesson at least now and try to build an economy that can withstand any drop in tourism.

If you are serious and not speaking after having a cup of kassipu, please provide strong security for all tourists and make SL the best safest place for tours and visits. You must also act as shield for investors who are bringing much needed forex.
