THE FACULTY OF MANAGEMENT

STUDIES PUBLISHED ITS SECOND

ISSUE OF THE SOUTH ASIAN JOURNAL

OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY

In celebration of the Silver Jubilee of the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Sabaragamuwa
University of Sri Lanka, it is an incredible pleasure to present the second issue of Volume One of the

South Asian Journal of Tourism and Hospitality (SAJTH). Nowadays there are millions of people who
have grown up with tourism as a major industry, and they go into traditional businesses and reinvent
them for this industry. We are facing the emergence of a completely new service based economy in

South Asia and the Asia Pacific in general, in which some industries can disappear while others are
likely to be dramatically transformed, and yet others dramatically expand. As for the authors, we
would like to see papers from researchers with a deep understanding of tourism and hospitality, and
its capabilities, who are not afraid of putting forward new bold ideas and discussing them. The pace of

change is so high that communities often do not imagine the full extent of all the opportunities offered
by this industry. At the same time, even the most advanced and useful industry is sooner or later
confronted with the market, its host community and the laws of economics. We see our potential
authors as part of a team, which wants to create a better future with the help of the tourism and

hospitality.
