ABC News has showcased Sri Lanka’s emerging tourism identity, branding it Bali 2.0. In a recent Instagram post, the network highlighted how expats and travel influencers embrace the comparison, describing Sri Lanka as a less crowded and more affordable alternative to Bali.
However, some caution that the island nation could face similar challenges to Bali if over-tourism is not carefully managed. Concerns about the potential strain on infrastructure, the environment, and local communities have been raised, underscoring the need for a sustainable approach to tourism growth.
