While other countries are trying to ban gambling in their countries, there are countries like Sri Lanka who is trying to use gambling as a way to revive their economy. They are aiming to attract gamblers from India and China to contribute to their tourism. Do you think this will be effective? Do you think it is possible to revive a failing economy just from gambling revenue? Would you be willing to travel to Sri Lanka to gamble?
It comes handy with their respective targets to come by for tourism and gambling. It's gonna be effective.
Just look at Macao and Vegas, they've been known as the gambling hubs and centers for their regions and aside from that, tourism is tied up to it.
I wish this success for the Sri Lankan government when all they want to do is to recover economical and doing such actions is seeing them proactive to their economy and country.
