Developing sustainability in tourism has been one of the fundamental objectives of Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority. This essential and crucial message of sustainability was launched on the iconic open deck double decker coach of the Colombo City Tour as “Driving Sustainable Tourism” to create awareness among local and foreign tourists.
