\n

Two iconic projects in South Asia, the Colombo Port City and the Lotus Tower are turning out to be major revenue generators for Sri Lanka. The Lotus Tower which was living on handouts doled out by the Treasury has reversed this negative trend and is now earning revenue not only in rupees but in foreign currency as well. Since its opening a few months ago it has netted in almost Rs. 1 billion erasing the myth that it was a white elephant. The Colombo Port city too is generating income through several leisure projects that have begun operations. Several new investors have expressed interest in investing and the next historic landmark of the Port City will be South Asia\u2019s largest Duty Free shop that will be opened in April next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
