Raigam Group Chairman and CEO, Dr Ravi Liyanage told Daily News
Business that there is a good potential and capacity to promote tourism
coupled with the saltern.
“Many migratory birds from countries such as Australia and Malaysia
are attracted to the salt pans because of the accumulating of Artemia.
These feeding beds will attract many local and foreign tourists who
enjoy bird watching. Under the Nagenahira Navaodaya Program, Kuchchaveli
Tourism Development Zone is planned to be set up with the construction
of 80 tourists hotels. This zone is mapped to be located in front of the
saltern. Therefore, it will attract high profiled tourists to the area,”
Liyanage said.
Kuchchaveli is best known for roaming wild elephants which can be
another tourist attraction.
Raigam will exploit that opportunity by setting up cottages for
tourists to promote elephant watching.
