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?
Since it is actually optimizing the potential of gambling business together with tourism field, this is surely an effective way to increase the income of the country. The data has proven it, it was reported that they got revenue around $5 billion last year. So, it is proven effective already, it really improved their economy aspect.
However, I think Sri Lanka government must support this with good rules. So, there will be no problem occurred from the gambling business. They must also ensure it won't bring addiction impact to their citizen. It is very possible to make the increase of gambler numbers on the country itself because they develop the gambling facilities.
