You are 100% right. Sri lanka remains attractive because despite tourism it had not spoiled the very thing that makes it unique. Big hotels will leave the poor behind.
I’m not inherently against big hotels as such, but there has to be enough to go around for everyone you know and when people see ‘x’ hotel costing hundreds of dollars per night, it might make some think that staying and eating local is low quality due to the disparity in price but it’s simply not true and for me, the opposite. I’d love to see everyone prosper, but in particular I’d like to see the wealth gap close and see more opportunities for those locals struggling
Big hotels bring the high end spenders, dropping much more money than the general backpacker, poor people will always be left behind, doesn't mean Sri Lanka shouldn't cater for the wealthy traveller. Ferrari, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Business/first class tickets also leave poor people behind in every country
Hello greetings from Indonesia, try to visit Indonesia, the 4th most populous country in the world, the number 1 Muslim country in the world, has the most 17,000 islands in the world, having diversity of tribes, languages, cultures and religions tolerant of each other, Indonesian is the official or unified language and the second language is regional languages such as Javanese, Sundanese, Malay, Batak, Minang, and so on. Indonesia has the 2nd most languages in the world after Papua New Guinea, has the most tribes and cultures in the world. The country of Indonesia has Indonesian culinary specialties such as Fried Rice, Rendang, Sate, Meatballs, Martabak, Chicken Noodles, Gado-Gado and so on.The largest cities in Indonesia are Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Bandung, Makassar, Yogyakarta, Bali, Aceh, Papua, Makassar, Manado, Lombok, Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Semarang, Palangkaraya, Samarinda, Maluku, Batam, Palembang, Padang and so on. there is also Indonesia having "Little India" only only the cities of Medan (North Sumatra) Most of North Sumatra is of Indian Tamil, Punjabi and Sindhu descent and Jakarta. Don't forget you are visiting Indonesia, bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey! I’ve been to Indonesia before and loved it. I travelled across Java from Jakarta all the way to Ketapang before hopping over to Bali on the ferry. Would really love to do this trip again but take some more time to see Jakarta and other places in between. Would also be great to explore Sumatra
Now Indonesia has 37 Provinces namely: Sumatra : Nangroe Aceh Darussalam North Sumatra West Sumatra Riau Riau islands Jambi South Sumatra Bengkulu Bangka Belitung Bandar Lampung Java: Tangerang Banten DKI Jakarta West Java Central Java DI Yogyakarta East Java Bali province West Nusa Tenggara East Nusa Tenggara Kalimantan/Borneo: West Kalimantan Central Kalimantan South Kalimantan East Kalimantan North Kalimantan Sulawesi: South Sulawesi West Sulawesi Central Sulawesi Southeast Sulawesi Gorontalo North Sulawesi Maluku Province North Maluku Papua: Papua West Papua Central Papua Papua Mountains South Papua
Very difficult to survive a monthly salary. So this kind of people are very needy people.he is good manner . Me also earlier watch in RUclips. You did good work. At least they can manage they daily life
I think they do pretty well to make many things as easy as possible for foreigners really. There's a great understanding and appreciation for visitors to the country, which is one of the reasons for me why it's such an enjoyable place to spend time
Whilst it’s disappointing, he didn’t ask me directly and there was no agreement etc, it was an honest exchange of good will and conversation with economic help, so for me, I don’t feel conned/taken advantage of, because it may have been his hope, but certainly wasn’t his demand. If it was straight up begging, that would be a different matter ✌🏻
@TheWanderLife You are not wrong..as in the video he is not demanding anything...but inviting to his house is the point..as Sri lankans inviting to our houses and offering a cup of tea is like a tradition..but we don't accept anything in return...and this guy is taking advantage.
Srilanka is just amazing guys... The local area and the people are so sweet... Keep it up 🤘
Incredible country and lovely, hospitable people 😊
@@TheWanderLife yup

Was easy to get visa extension with UK passport .

Exactly, he is the same guy. He does this for money which is not good
Whilst it’s disappointing, he didn’t ask me directly and there was no agreement etc, it was an honest exchange of good will and conversation with economic help, so for me, I don’t feel conned/taken advantage of, because it may have been his hope, but certainly wasn’t his demand.

@@jason96 If he is a fisherman he should be be repairing the net..not the other guy..seems like he's just sitting there.
