Australia to assist Lanka’s tourism and cottage industry development
Australia has been proving around US$ 19 million annually for tourism sector; cottage industry development in Sri Lanka, Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka & Maldives, David Holly told the Sri Lanka Australia New Zealand Business Council (SLANZBC) AGM at Cinnamon Grand on Thursday.
He said that these were mainly to train handicraft, handloom and other such creative people who could manufacture and sell them for the tourism sector. “We are also actively conducting workshops and training youth in the North East in self-employment projects,” he said.
He however said that with Sri Lanka elevated to a middle income country by passing the US$ 4060 per capita income mark such development assistance would be hard to be provided in the future.
