Get ready, adventurers! Sri Lanka is gearing up to become the next big thing in regional tourism and investment. 🚀
The construction of a brand-new marina in Port City Colombo is underway, and it's set to put Sri Lanka on the map for high-end maritime services. 🌊 According to Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath, this exciting development will fill a major gap in South Asia and attract more high-net-worth tourists to the island nation.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony last Friday, Herath shared that Port City Colombo is more than just a marina—it's a game-changer for Sri Lanka's international image and a magnet for foreign investment. 💼 \"This port city is an important platform to enhance Sri Lanka's international image,\" he said. \"The development of the marina will help us achieve our tourism revenue goals and promote cultural and economic cooperation between Sri Lanka and China.\"
Harsha Amarasekera, chairman of the Colombo Port City Economic Commission, echoed these sentiments. He believes the port city will inject fresh energy into Sri Lanka's economy. \"The new project will not only create more jobs but also attract international high-end brands to settle in, boosting our economic recovery,\" Amarasekera explained.
The marina project is no small feat—it covers about 20,400 square meters with a construction area of around 49,000 square meters! 😮
This development is a huge step forward for Sri Lanka, and we can't wait to see how it transforms the region. Pack your bags, because Sri Lanka is calling! 🧳✈️
