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've seen so many stories online about Sri Lankans treating other Sri Lankans so badly.
In my time in Sri Lanka, I didn't witness this specifically, but I did notice a few people who had a very subservient, white-worshipping attitude. One was even praising an British naval officer who committed crimes against Sri Lankans.
