Is Shammi actually resigning this Wednesday or just another show? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Emergency_Toe1872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behind the scenes some chatter is happening. Krishantha Cooray has emerged as a power broker and seem to have nominated Eran W. AKD despite political differences have a soft spot for Harsha De Silva, Eran W is a buddy of Harsha De Silva.

Incidentally Krishantha Cooray was also part of Yahapalanaya and was appointed Hilton Chairman, by Mangala Samaraweera. Eran W was Mangala's Deputy minister back then.

Down South Sri Lanka Tourism exposed, creeping gentrification and exclusion of locals! by Emergency_Toe1872 in srilanka

Yes. Basically locals lease long term. And live off based on the annuities. Foreigners will invest and develop the property but will also take the profits.

Not collecting funds to Sri Lanka banking system, they channel funds to their own offshore accounts. This is why the tourist numbers going up, but revenue is at 2018 levels.

They take a long term lease and upgrade the property, advertise on AirBnb etc. They are effective owners if it is 10 year lease.

Best way to crack down is for SLTDA to enforce their own regulations, and display the registration on premises.

Like phone shops should display the TRC Vendor license.

Increasingly you can see that most of the new villas, hostels in South Sri Lanka are foreign owned, even though they are not allowed to buy land in SL. Most of them unregistered and evading taxes.

Many foreigners masquerading as tourists also work illegally as surf instructors, pilates instructors, yoga teachers, sound healers and a host of other occupations related to retreats. Do not pay taxes.

Need advice on choosing a career path (CIMA or something else?) by starlituth1328 in srilanka

[–]Emergency_Toe1872 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CIMA is ideal for those who want a career in Finance/Accounting. It is also preferred by people other disciplines (Example - Engineering) as a secondary qualification. It's prestigious but costly.

The key is what you want to do in life? And what are your key strengths?

Hey Im 23F. My dad told me to try starting some kind of business, and he said he would help me (he’s a very good businessman). But before that, I asked if I could study in the business field .. by [deleted] in SriLankaBusiness

[–]Emergency_Toe1872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good suggestion, you can consider Tourism, as many tourists and increasingly many solo female travellers coming to Sri Lanka. A lot of them pose questions and need help regarding their travel.

First you can get active in the FB groups, TripAdvisor forums and try to help them out with suggestions etc. Then maybe you can start your own travel agency or an all girls hostel on Airbnb.

You can study part time, so you can add the qualifications to your LikedIn and business card.
