Colombo, Sri Lanka Nevertheless, the Easter Sunday terrorist attack casts doubt on to what extent Sri Lanka will be able to make use of the sector for her socio-economic development. In the context of the above attack, this study expect to examine the impact of terrorist attacks on the tourism industry. The study make use of secondary data extracted from national statistical agencies. Our findings clearly indicate that tourism industry suffered a lot following terrorist attacks. It was found that tourist arrivals and tourism receipt were lower by around 20 per cent in a year which witnessed terrorist attacks compared to a normal year. Similarly, in the short-run, employment in the industry declined by around 11 per cent following a major terrorist attack on civilian target. The findings suggest that it is high time to enhance the capacities for the security establishments to minimize the risks pose by various terrorist organizations.

II Message from the Hon. Minister Sri Lanka is a small island with rich biological diversity and high level of endemism. Biodiversity of the country is unique and hence it has universal value. Nevertheless, it is currently under threat from ever increasing human interferences. Due to this extraordinary endemism and also high level of threat the country is considered as one of the global biodiversity hotspots. Biodiversity Conservation is not a new phenomenon to Sri Lanka. From ancient times Sri Lankans have had close relations with flora and fauna and they were very much concerned about their conservation and protection for the benefit of future generation. As we all know the world's first recorded sanctuary, 'Mihintale' is located in Sri Lanka.
