1.2 Industry
sector of Anilana
Anilana Hotel is in the tourism and hospitality industry, and that has
more than 10 years of experience to
satisfy the needs of international and local tourists. Post-war Sri Lanka was a golden time when investors looked to grow beyond their boundaries. The location of a beautiful island in the mid of the Indian ocean attracted all forms of visitors and it helped to develop
the nation. Tourism
is the 3rd largest
foreign exchange earner to the country. After
the Easter attack
in 2019, tourist arrival dropped by 21% compared to 2018. In 2020, the
tourist arrival further dropped down
due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. Now, Sri Lanka has opened its border with the rule, “Fully vaccinated tourists
are allowed to bypass all restrictions and freely travel as long as a negative PCR is produced”. The below image shows
monthly tourist arrivals in 2020 & 2021 in Sri Lanka,
