“SJB will rebrand SL as a year-round tourist destination”

Head of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya’s (SJB) policy-making body, MP Eran Wickramaratne announced plans to rebrand Sri Lanka from a seasonal tourist destination to a year-round destination. This will involve implementing a flexible visa system for over 100 countries and promoting activities and attractions available in all seasons.

Wickramaratne analysed the policies of the SJB and the action plan for their implementation at a conference of the organisation of young professionals held in Colombo on Wednesday (21).

He further stated, “For a clean governance that goes beyond winning the elections, various issues included in the governance of the country were divided into 27 areas and policies were formulated for each area after discussing with professionals for two years and now they need to be implemented from the first day of a SJB government and the action plan has also been compiled.”

He emphasised the importance of implementing these policies from the first day of a SJB government, contrasting this approach with other parties’ post-election failures to fulfil their manifestos.

He added, “The SJB has the best leader and the best team. They will open the tourism sector to the world first, to get the dollars and remittances needed for the country.”

Wickramaratne stressed the need for clean governance and outlined plans to open up the tourism sector, aiming to attract foreign investment and remittances to bolster the country’s economy. He said it is their intention to grant visa-free access to tourists from over 100 countries and to promote Sri Lanka as a year-round tourist destination.
