In a move to cater to the booming tourist industry following the end to terrorism in the country, two investors have come forward to invest Rs 3,200 million in two star class hotels in the Kalpitiya Tourist Zone.
These hotels will be established in Vellai and Ippanthivu islands in the Kalpitiya Tourist Zone. These projects are expected to generate more than 1,200 employment opportunities.
The Government leased out the Vellai island where one of the hotels is to be constructed. Tourist Board Chairman Nalaka Godahewa and Sun Lanka Resort Chairman Mohammed Sham signed the lease agreement in the presence of Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa.
The construction of this hotel consisting of 150 rooms would be completed within three years. The hotel to be constructed in the Ippanthivu island in Kalpitiya will consist of 300 rooms and it is an investment of Rs 1,700m.
