SL Tourism gets first-ever industry-focused jobs website

• Job postings free for introductory period
• Made available in Sinhala, Tamil and English
• Includes a content-packed ‘Skills Centre’

Sri Lanka’s reviving tourism sector now has its very own window to share employment opportunities, with the launch of the country’s first and only job site dedicated to the industry.

The effort under the banner ‘Love Sri Lanka Jobs’ is rolled out by the Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance.
The portal that can be accessed via jobs.lovesrilanka.org already hosts a number of jobs from some of Sri Lanka’s leading tourism companies. 

With a major exodus of staff leaving the industry in Sri Lanka to go abroad, many tourism providers are desperately seeking new staff.  

“The Love Sri Lanka Jobs site created by the Tourism Alliance has been in development for the past year and we’ve ensured it meets the industry needs. 

It’s encouraging to see tourism picking up again and we thought now would be the perfect time to introduce this new tool to the industry, so  those looking for new staff for their tourism businesses have a better chance at recruiting the best talent that’s out there,” said  Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance Co-Chair Malik Fernando.
Reflecting similar sentiments, Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance Co-Chair Shiromal Cooray said, “We, as an industry body, are keen to support sustainable growth within the industry and we believe that Love Sri Lanka Jobs will provide the necessary platform for both employers and job seekers in tourism to meet their needs in an efficient way.”

The Love Sri Lanka Jobs portal has been designed by industry, for industry. The Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance said it intends for it to become the go-to jobs site for tourism business owners and job seekers. Designed by industry experts, the portal is user-friendly and is made available in Sinhala, Tamil and English. 

The members of the Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance can post their jobs on the site free of charge during the introductory period, after which a fee will be charged.

The new jobs site also includes a number of helpful videos and other collateral, under the ‘Skills Centre’, that have been specifically developed to encourage the much-needed new entrants into the industry. 

The ‘Career Pathways’ videos have been created to provide inspiration to those considering a career in tourism. 
The Skills Centre also provides useful information on tourism-related courses and workshops and other skills-based information.

The Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance is a free, membership-based organisation, with a vision to build a resilient and sustainable tourism industry that embraces international sustainable tourism best practices and where tourism benefits are driven to communities and people across Sri Lanka at every level.
