It's way cheaper than UAE but actually South East Asia is a way more value for money than Sri Lanka.. They have better standard of service and all around entertainment value than what SL currently have to offer.. SL tourism market is thriving because it's in a bubble as a frontier market.. Lots of tourists want to explore a country that has been closed for decades for the first time but that bubble will burst sooner than later.. There are very few second timers especially from Western markets due to sub standard service SL provide for the price they pay.. SL is no way a cheap destination for budget travelers.. They will face a sever crisis if the tourism industry is complacent on this boom and does not make the improvements
I understand your point. As usual this gover is gonna destroy the magnificient opportunity in tourism due to their incredible stupidity. but SL have excellent boutique hotels. Private sector is doing fine and there are second comers (going by the tripadvisor and tripreviews). For a traveller from pakistani if it is just vacation and sight seeing without that much shopping, SL is a good option and can be done with a low budget.
SL is different from Thailand and Colombo will never be Bangkok. These are two places and one will not replace the other.
