Sri Lanka - Less Travelled is a community-driven tourism project implemented by Chrysalis to develop sustainable community-based bio-diversity tourism signature sites in Kothmale and Ambagamuwa DS Divisions in the Nuwara Eliya District and Ambanganga Korale and Dambulla DS Divisions in Matale District. As tourism has traditionally been the third largest foreign exchange earner in Sri Lanka, the project aims to contribute to the national economy by increasing tourist arrivals and supporting the income generation of local communities in targeted locations. The project is developing 5 community based eco-tourism signature sites in selected locations, capacitating 60 women and youth as nature-based tour/travel companions and supporting 20 women-led eco-tourism-based enterprises and 40 self-employed women and youth as ecotourism-based support service providers.
The Assignment
Chrysalis is currently seeking a Consultant to provide expertise in developing the businesses and enhancing their capacity to cater to tourists visiting the above-mentioned sites.
