On November 12, 2023, United Tourism Industry officially entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. This collaboration signifies the group's formal initiation of the Asian premium cultural tourism asset cooperation plan. With the infusion of additional capital, the group will participate in the development and operation of more premium cultural tourism asset projects in the Asian region through strategic investments, cross-shareholding, and other forms. Leveraging the resources accumulated by the group in major Asian offices, the initiative aims to empower the Asian cultural tourism industry comprehensively, fostering a new ecosystem of collaborative success in the cultural tourism sector from the perspectives of experience, returns, and development.
Galle Fort and Castle, as typical representatives of European defensive fortresses in South Asia and Southeast Asia, were constructed by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Successfully blending European architectural art with South Asian cultural traditions, they showcase the mutual influence between European and South Asian traditional architecture during the 17th to 19th centuries. Galle Fort and Castle stand as the most well-preserved ancient fortresses in Southeast Asia and South Asia to date. In 1988, they were approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee and included in the World Heritage List as cultural heritage. As one of Sri Lanka's most renowned historical landmarks, Galle Fort can be considered an immensely valuable cultural tourism asset for investment.
