Living & Working in Sri Lanka<br />Working conditions and lifestyle<br />Filled with beauty and wonder, Sri Lanka draws thousands of tourists every year. Most people will recognise tea as one of largest export industries in Sri Lanka, but there is much more to this developing island nation. The main economic sectors of the country are tourism, tea, textiles and apparel manufacturing and rice. In addition, many Sri Lankans work overseas, sending foreign currency back to their families<br />Working in Sri Lanka brings with it all the joys and excitement of working in a developing nation.
