Research Intelligence Unit

As part of RIUNIT’s preliminary research process for an upcoming country report on Sri Lanka’s tourism sector, members of our team recently met with Mr. Nalin Jayasundera, Managing Director of Aitken Spence Travels.

The meeting formed part of our wider stakeholder engagement initiative, through which RIUNIT is gathering expert perspectives from key industry leaders to understand better the sector’s current performance, market dynamics, emerging opportunities, operational challenges, and future outlook.

Direct industry engagement is central to the way we approach research. By combining market data with first-hand insights from sector leaders, RIUNIT aims to develop a more grounded and practical understanding of the forces shaping Sri Lanka’s tourism landscape.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Jayasundera for sharing his valuable time and insights with our research team.

From insight to impact — RIUNIT was proud to partner with the 12th MIBFI Conference 2026 in the Maldives.

As an Event Partner, RIUNIT joined a regional platform that brought together leaders, policymakers, investors, and industry experts to discuss the future of Islamic finance, investment, and economic resilience across South Asia.

Our Founder & CEO, Roshan Madawela, represented RIUNIT at the conference, contributing an Asia regional perspective to conversations shaping regional growth, capital flows, and market opportunities.

A sincere thank you to the organisers, UTO EduConsult, for curating a meaningful platform for dialogue, collaboration, and forward-looking insight.

At RIUNIT, we remain committed to supporting decision-makers with research-led intelligence that connects markets, sectors, and opportunities across the region.
