Hon. Roshan Akmeemana
Hon. Roshan Akmeemana asked what support the Ministry, Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority and Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau could provide in the next Budget to diversify Trincomalee tourism beyond seasonal beach tourism. He outlined plans for ecotourism, rural tourism, agrotourism and religious tourism in areas such as Morawewa and Gomaran Kadawala, including youth cooperatives, homestay training, a tourism cooperative from Sweat Bay, and a tourism zone linked to Sooriyapura, Kanthale Ara and Kanthale tank.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: Trincomalee tourism remains largely beach-centric and seasonal. To make it year-round, we are planning for ecotourism, rural tourism, agrotourism and religious tourism in areas like Morawewa and Gomaran Kadawala. We are organizing youth cooperatives and homestay training. From Sweat Bay, we are forming a tourism cooperative and training youth; linking Sooriyapura and Kanthale Ara to develop a zone around Kanthale tank. What support can the Ministry, SLTDA and the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau provide in the next Budget?
