New tourism related deals & visa related deals will be signed with China, Japan, South Korea & ASEAN Members. It will boost tourism from East Asia.

Indian tourists are not spending much, we gain profit from mostly western tourists.

Still, more tourists does help. And on an average, European tourists spends more than any Asian tourist.

Indian, Russians tourists are spending less
Some western tourists don't like to see Indians & Israelis in their pool.
German/British tourists are more profitable.

Chinese are obviously picking up the pace, but Sri Lanka is not much a popular destination for Chinese, isn't it? They love visiting Japan.

1.India share maritime boundary and still have conflicts over Katchativu islands

2. Wake me up if you get me wrong.

Anyway, I would prefer to Visit Kerala or Goa or Andamans instead of going to Sri Lanka.

SL has a very smart and patriotic leadership at the moment. Mr.Rjapakse clearly put SL interest first it seems and thus managed
to end the 3 decade long civil war so efficiently. The fact that SL is pissing off her next door neighbor and the hypocrite US
means that SL is on the right path and will most likely become the next asian miracle. BD has a lot to learn from SL otherwise
we will be left behind.

I have doubt if common chinese people have heard of srilanka.
Ask any Indian where is Chad .

Immature decision IMO. There have been so many resolutions passed against India in the past and still we clung on to ties with European countries and today all have come back to their senses. SL should have stuck on. While Europe maybe weaker, it is still not a nobody. In UN, number of votes count.

Instead of closing these embassies which sends a wrong political signal, SL could have opened group embassies (like one in Singapore, meant for representing SL to entire ASEAN group). That'd have shown a more mature political thinking.
