Abstract:
Finding different experiences is the inherent nature of humankind though
the expected experiences are different from each other. Considering
these different expectations of the humankind, various types of facility
suppliers, have attempted to supply unique products or services or a
product series with adjoining differences. The objective of this paper is
to discuss of a mechanism viz., recreation opportunity spectrum (ROS)
which leads to provide adjoining differences in a same land area. As this
mechanism comprehends the land differences based on recreationists’/
tourists’ notion, the paper supports to expand both recreation and tourism
industry. It is significant to discuss the ROS technique at this moment
which conterminous with Sri Lankan development strategies. This
concept paper discusses about ROS based on what, why, where, who,
and how questions based on a literature survey. In conclusion, there are
adequate opportunities to multiply land values by introducing multiple
usages of same lands by applying ROS mapping in Sri Lanka.
