The program was inaugurated on 14 July in Galle, in the presence of Galle Municipal Corporation Deputy Director K.A.N. Pramodini, Centre for Environmental Authority Assistant Director Nihal D’silva and Sri Lanka Tourism Authority Deputy Director General Upali Rathnayaka.
Sri Lanka's tourism sector is experiencing strong growth with the tourist arrivals for the first six months of 2025 recording over 1.16 million which represents a 15.6% increase compared to the same period last year. This encouraging momentum highlights the country's growing appeal on the global stage. As visitor numbers rise, so does the need for a skilled workforce to deliver world-class experiences.
