In 2022, Sri Lanka experienced an economic crisis which led to shortages of fuel, cooking gas and food, the country went through regular power outages due to electricity rationing.
However, these shortages are fading away as the economy is on a path to improvement. Since the tourism industry is one of the main sources of foreign income for the government, there are incentives in place in order for tourists to experience Sri Lanka without any hassle. This means there’s no power interruptions to tourist areas, with other areas affected for an hour a day. The Government is sparing fuel for the tourism sector granting higher fuel quotas for tourism related businesses.
