Sri Lanka Introduces New Eco-Tourism Initiatives

Sri Lanka’s tourism sector is making bold moves towards sustainability and environmental protection. The Ministry of Tourism has launched new eco-tourism initiatives aimed at preserving the island’s natural beauty while offering visitors unique, responsible travel experiences.

These programs include community-based village tourism, wildlife conservation tours, and plastic-free coastal zones in popular beach destinations. Tour operators are also being encouraged to adopt greener practices, from solar-powered transport to zero-waste accommodations.

Travelers can now enjoy authentic, low-impact adventures, such as tea plantation stays, guided jungle treks, and eco-lodges with panoramic views of Sri Lanka’s lush landscapes.

As more travelers seek meaningful and sustainable experiences, Sri Lanka is positioning itself as a leader in eco-tourism in Asia.
