Tourist literature including hand outs, leaflets, brochures and magazines on Sri Lanka displayed at the Katunayake International Airport for the benefit of tourists are being removed by certain airport staff members of the public have complained. As a result trays and racks displaying tourist brochures are almost empty most of the time.

These publications are very useful for tourists especially those visiting for the first time as this is the best and most reliable information available for them free of charge.

Members of the public say that the tourists get a negative impression of our country and hospitality when they are prevented from obtaining such valuable and useful information. The local people who take away these publications not only harm the country's image but also cause damage to the tourist industry wittingly or unwittingly.
