What guide did by leaving foreigners stranded by roadside is right?
A certain incident where a group of English-speaking tourists who were on a tour in Sri Lanka had been left stranded on the road by a Sri lankan guide cum chauffeur who took them around on a Safari jeep. It was because of a dispute over a money transaction which incident is being circulated across the internet these days
in video form.On the said occasion an argument mixed with anger was observed between the two parties and the Sri Lankan in this instance is seen arguing about injustice done to him because only 3500 has been offered to him after having agreed for a sum of 4500. This Sri Lankan who reprimands against videoing the incident in indecent words asks them in anger to get off the vehicle and thus after dropping them from the vehicle then speeds off in the vehicle. It has been found that the tourists concerned in this case were 2 males and 1 female.
The video in relation to this incident has been released to the internet over YouTube by a foreigner. It was reported that several incidents of behaviour of tour guides similar to what is displayed in this video have been released across the YouTube by this very foreigner. As such, what is seen at first glance is that reporting incidents of this nature across the internet has been made a habit by this person. As a complete description cannot be assessed by the video, it is difficult to understand as to who is guilty in this instance.
The said Sri Lankan according to knowledgeable sources is supposed to be a resident of Polonnaruwa and is said to be an innocent character and he has later remarked that he had been treated unfairly by these tourists and therefore he was compelled to behave in that manner. Whatever it is, when this video was going its rounds in social media there were many voices aired criticising the way the Sri Lankan behaved and it further criticised that incidents of this type where Sri Lankans behaved disrespectfully in the presence of outsiders being publicised would result in a drop in the tourist influx to Sri Lanka in future.
