If anything lasting were to come out of this awesome peoples movement, let it be the humanization of politicians.

As citizens of #SriLanka we should always remember that
- Politicians are simply government servants. They are elected by the people, to work for the people.

Wasantha Deshapriya @Wasanthadesha and I wrote up what we think is a constitutionally consistent, practical and viable plan to get us out of this mess going beyond slogans:

An interesting article on @skift on a potential generational divide when travel commences once again.

I am a strong believer that given everything this country has been through, Sri Lankans have this uncanny ability to keep getting up, no matter how hard we get knocked down. We want to share that message everyone across the world. #srilanka #resilient

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

@MangalaLK calling @GotabayaR a coward is completely ridiculous. Specially in the context of the war that finished 10 years ago. That's a new low. Surely @MangalaLK, we can expect more from you.

[Mangala Samaraweera @MangalaLK]

No surprise that @GotabayaR is running away from a debate. After all, he fled from #SriLanka just a week after Elephant Pass I, which Prabhakaran described as 'The Mother of All Battles.' Cowardice clearly runs in his veins. #PresPollSL

An incredible take on crisis and how humanity is the thread that ties us all together. #CinnamonFOT2019

[ANITA MENDIRATTA @AnitaMendiratta]

Whoever we are, wherever we are in the world, whatever we do....when crisis hits we are all human & we hurt. Recovery is stronger, faster & smarter when we come together as one. No one must ever feel alone. Thank you #cinnamonfot2019 for the honour of taking your stage. x @UNWTO

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

Great to see the launch of the Resilience Action Plan, by the Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance. More steps being taken to strengthen a public private partnership to stimulate growth. #CinnamonFOT2019

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

@richardquest talking about overtourism, security and the environment, the three key threats to the future of tourism. #CinnamonFOT2019

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

@richardquest highlights the biggest threat to tourism. Overtourism. In Sri Lanka, we must act now to ensure that this incredible island is preserved in all its glory.

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

Supporting the boys and the nation today. We will bounce back. #cwc19 #icc #SLvENG

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

@MahelaJay in the context of tomorrow's match, if you could share this piece of content to show Sri Lanka some love and give some additional eyeballs to those following #cwc19 that would be great.

[Chamindra Goonewardene @chamindra720]

Sri Lanka's economy and so many individuals are directly / indirectly dependent on tourism. With an estimated 2 million individuals directly /indirectly affected, it's essential to focus on supporting tourism given what has happened. #srilanka #lka

[Santani Resort and Spa @Santani_lk]

A great article by @MujMash in the @nytimes on the link between tourism and local economies. At a time like this, it is so important to support tourism, given the fact that so many Sri Lankans rely on it.

It's incredibly exciting to see @Santani_lk listed by @TIME as one of the greatest places in the world. An amazing time to be heading this team. https://t.co/DCyHpwW5PH
