Kuchchaveli
In the Trincomalee district, an area of approximately 500 acres has been identified for tourism development purposes. The land borders the beach and is situated in the village of Kuchchaveli, north of the popular Nilaveli beach.
A Conceptual Zoning Plan is currently being prepared for the area by the SLTDA with the assistance of the Urban Development Authority (UDA). The resort will be developed by the Government Agent (Trincomalee) and the SLTDA, and will adhere with the SLTDA guidelines. Apart from the hotels, the resort will include other facilities to supplement the accommodation units and make it a self contained village. This resort will provide a wide range of land and water based sports including a theme park.
The private sector has expressed keen interest and enthusiasm in developing Kuchchaveli. According to the applications received to date, 3000 to 5000 rooms would be in operation by 2011 – 2013.
