Hilton Hotel Fiasco Amazon Books – ‘Socio-Political Realities - Hilton Hotel Fiasco & Ad hominem Legislation - Expropriation Law’ http://www.consultants21.com/page-1-derivative-actions-in-law.php This Book under the same main topic ‘Socio- Political Realities’ consists of two Sections. The first of which is the ‘Hilton Hotel Fiasco’, a Synopsis of which is given below based on the facts and actions, disclosing the socio-political realities. As a consequence of the barbaric ethnic riots in July 1983, named ‘Black July’, to rectify the resultant tarnished international image of Sri Lanka and to develop a good name and standing of Sri Lanka, the Government of President J.R. Jayawardene took immediate steps to have the Colombo Hilton Hotel Project implemented which was then in a planning stage. This Hilton Hotel Project had been implemented by the owning Company, Hotel Developers (Lanka) Ltd. (HDL). Size - 8.25” X 11” – Pages 818 The main motivation for this was the involvement of two large reputed Companies from Japan, namely, Mitsui & Co. Ltd., and Taisei Corporation and the Hilton International Hotel Chain of USA being involved in this project; and therefore with the involvement of USA and Japan collaborating and investing in this Project at that time, the foundation of international confidence in Sri Lanka was intended to be developed. The Architects for Hilton Hotel Colombo were reputed Architects in Japan, Kanko Kikaku Sekkeisha, Yozo Shibata & Associates. Accordingly, with the intervention of President J.R. Jayawardene, to finance the Hilton Hotel construction with Loans from these Japanese Companies, Sri Lanka Government Guarantees were granted, and all imports for the construction and completion of the Hilton Hotel were exempted from Import Duties.
