Description
Description | The Ambuluwawa Religious and Biodiversity Complex in Sri Lanka is introducing the country's first-ever cable car project, a 1.5-kilometre transport system with nine towers. The project aims to increase foreign tourist arrivals from 8% to between 10 and 15%, reduce travel time, and enhance accessibility. The project is a US$ 12.75 million venture led by a consortium of investors from Sri Lanka, the United States, and China under the company Amber Adventures. It operates under a Build-Operate-Transfer model and will be handed over to the Sri Lankan government free of charge after a 13-year term. Construction was temporarily suspended due to regulatory concerns about landslide risks, but site stability was later confirmed. |
