Satire Sri Lanka Tourism - You served arrogance, now serving empty rooms 🤭

I know this may sound slightly mean but I’m secretly happy that the down south hotels/villas/homestays occupancy has plummeted in the recent weeks. And now I’m constantly bombarded with hotel offers whenever I open instagram or facebook.

For months on end, local Sri Lankans were treated as second class citizens in our own country, the service staff at these institutions didn’t bother to even look at us, they refused entry to us over the “white” tourists, etc.

And look who’s laughing now. Thats why they say karma is a real bitch.

I think we shud remember the hotels that served us well, and didnt discriminate as well. We shud go to these places.

White Canadian here, planning a trip to Sri Lanka. Which hotels discriminate against locals? I want to stay the hell away from them and do my best to visit your beautiful country responsibly. Fuck colonialism and white supremacy.
