Investment insights on Port City and Cinnamon Life presented to int’l audience

With Colombo Port City and Cinnamon Life emerging as Sri Lanka’s most attractive investment opportunities in the property and leisure sectors, a webinar hosted recently by the Sri Lanka Canada Business Council (SLCBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce offered potential investors a unique opportunity to gain investor insights into
the two projects. 

Senior executives representing the two projects presented unique features, strategic growth plans and early-bird investment insights to an international audience at the webinar, furthering the SLCBC’s efforts to promote bilateral trade, investment and technology transfer between Sri Lanka and Canada by highlighting Sri Lanka’s emergence as a globally attractive investment destination.  

Port City Colombo Manager Strategy and Business Development Nabiha Mohamed appraised participants of the opportunities in hospitality and tourism, ICT/BPM, maritime and logistics and financial services as FDI drivers as well as the benefits of the Port City Act, which would enhance the ease of doing business and prioritise FDIs. 

John Keells Holdings Head of Corporate Affairs and Cinnamon Hotels Vice President Marketing Dileep Mudadeniya elaborated on the country’s biggest private-sector mixed-development investment project – Cinnamon Life – comprising what will be Sri Lanka’s largest hotel as well as office and residential spaces. With a focal point on boosting city tourism, while contributing to the development of peripheral sectors, the project has already attracted high levels of global investor interest, he added.
