Sigiriya, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic tourist destinations, is set to become the country’s first sustainable tourism destination, following the Cabinet of Ministers’ approval of a Master Plan to develop the site in a sustainable manner with the contribution of all relevant parties.
Sigiriya is not only an important archaeological site but also a UNESCO world heritage site, attracting a high number of local and foreign tourists. The development of sustainable tourism destinations is crucial to uplift Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, and Sigiriya’s role as a major tourist attraction point in Sri Lanka is significant. This move will undoubtedly enhance the appeal of Sigiriya to environmentally conscious travelers and boost the country’s reputation as a sustainable tourism destination.
