Sri Lanka’s Tourism Ministry on Friday said it would put in place all
basic facilities for physically challenged people to visit the island
nation.
Sri Lanka’s Tourism Minister, John Amaratunga said in a statement
that with this year’s theme being: `Tourism for all promoting universal
accessibility,’ it was the right time for the government to plan ahead.
Amaratunga, however, said that planning ahead will make Sri Lanka a
success story in providing accessibility to all in this part of the
world.
“It is of greater relevance to us here in Sri Lanka as we are now on
the cusp of rapid growth in both tourism infrastructure development and
hotel inventory.
“We need to start by facilitating our own physically challenged
people who are eager to explore their motherland, but hesitate to do so
due to inadequate facilities,’’ he stressed.
Amaratunga emphasised that Sri Lanka was obligated to put in place
the basic facilities needed to ensure both the safety and comfort of
physically challenged people.
