Whale watching is a favourite pastime of all of us. Here it is an adventurous experience but one that I would love to have at least once in my life. This is well known in Sri Lanka and it is more popular in the tourism industry.

    This will help in developing the tourism sector and sustaining it. The tourism industry, as well as attracting tourists to the country and attracting foreign exchange. And it is also a source of income for Sri Lanka fishermen.
