Katunayake is renowned as the site of the Bandaranaike International Airport, the primary international air gateway to Sri Lanka, welcoming travelers from around the world with its warm hospitality and modern facilities.
Following the change in government in 1977 and the introduction of the open economy policy, Katunayake underwent significant development, with a large area allocated to create a free trade zone. This initiative spurred economic growth and generated many job opportunities for the local youth, contributing substantially to the country’s economy and fostering a spirit of prosperity within the community.
Today, Katunayake thrives as a bustling hub of commerce and industry while retaining its natural beauty and charm. Visitors to this dynamic town can experience a blend of modernity and tradition, explore vibrant markets, indulge in delicious cuisine, and soak in the warm hospitality of the local community.
