The government has approved a project to develop Colombo’s Marine Drive as a tourist attraction, Cabinet Spokesperson Minister Nalinda Jayatissa announced.
Titled “Marine Nights: Awakening Colombo” the initiative will cover the 7.4-kilometer stretch from Kollupitiya Railway Station to Dehiwala, with particular emphasis on the 400-meter stretch between Galle Face Green and St. Thomas’ Preparatory School.
Jayatissa said the project aims to stimulate the local economy, boost tourism, and enhance the visitor experience in Colombo through expanded night-time tourism activities. Support from area hoteliers and businesses will be sought for the initiative, he said. (Newswire)
