Community Tourism
Sri Lanka Tourism is committed towards enhancing its community based tourism arm. We believe community-based tourism is all about sharing the natural resources of Sri Lanka with the world. We believe by doing this we can reap sustainable benefits and conserve the natural environment.Community-based tourism is a growing market. Today, tourists worldwide seek new and meaningful experiences from their leisure time. Given Sri Lanka’s natural beauty, cultural and spiritual heritage, and multi-ethnic communities, many tourists are interested in safeguarding and adding value to the communities.
Community tourism strives to help tourists empower, engage and financially sustain communities without in any way compromising their traditions, values and way of life.
Over time, the Sri Lanka Tourism hopes to ensure that each tourism site and experience is conceived, developed and marketed to ensure its appeal and accessibility to the visitors and, in turn, its sustainability in benefiting the community.
