Sri Lanka: The fishing community at Dehiwala. Dehiwala was hit badly by the 2004 tsunami. Dehiwala, south of Colombo. The town of Dehiwala has seen rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in recent years. Located on the border to Colombo, the cheaper land has resulted in a real estate boom with hyper-markets, department stores and apartment complexes dotting its skyline. Dehiwala during recent years has become an attractive location for holiday accommodation facilities for both business travelers and holiday makers as a result of its close proximity to Colombo and Mount Lavinia beach.
