The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has proposed a special initiative to enhance conservation efforts at Sigiriya, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and boost its tourism attraction.
Proposed under the supervision of Sri Lanka’s Central Cultural Fund and with the full approval of the Department of Archaeology, this project includes several initiatives, such as upgrading the access road to Sigiriya Lion Rock, constructing an alternative access route, and developing facilities such as the Sigiriya Museum, restaurant, and ticket counter.
The total cost of this project is estimated at Rs. 2.4 billion. Furthermore, it has been suggested that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) be signed between the Central Cultural Fund and KOICA, as directed by the Ministry of Buddhasasana, Religious, and Cultural Affairs for the purpose.
