World Tourism Day marks the debut of Cinnamon Life’s “Beach Care” project

The launch of Cinnamon Life’s ‘Beach Care’ initiative on World Tourism Day, which focuses on sustainable tourism in Sri Lanka, particularly its stunning coastline. The event at Uswetakeiyawa Beach aimed to protect the beach’s natural beauty by involving employees in a clean-up operation, during which they removed over 400 kilograms of plastic waste. The initiative also includes installing a permanent garbage bin to encourage sustainable practices amongst the local community. As highlighted by Sameera Ranasinghe, this project reflects Cinnamon Life’s commitment to merging tourism with environmental sustainability, ensuring that future generations can enjoy Sri Lanka’s beauty.
