Could Sri Lanka’s tourism sector be a primary driver of economic development – and a way to bring about a lasting peace? This case study looks at the early decision to pursue tourism as a driver of development in the 1950s, and follows the history of Sri Lanka and its tourism industry through 2016. In 2002, the government of Sri Lanka reached a breakthrough with the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) to bring the civil war, which had been going on for almost two decades, to a ceasefire. Bilateral and multilateral development agencies quickly looked to help the country rebuild, and developing the tourism sector was once again a primary economic development goal. The devastating tsunami and renewed fighting threatened these goals, however.

The spectacular 250 year old Gajon Folk Festival in Kurmun, India, culminates in a controversial dance with a decayed human head. For the first time ever, Karma Wangchuk, a filmmaker from Bhutan, has been granted access behind the scenes to find out more about this mysterious ritual. In honour of Lord Shiva, Gajon Sanyasis, or local farmers turned monks, perform various tantric rituals which have been passed down over the generations, including the dance of the severed head. Karma lives with the local villagers and gains the trust of the local priest to investigate the origins of the dance, and its significance to the people of Kurmun today. Can the festival continue in its current form any longer, or should the worshipping of the severed head be banned?
