AbHa

The neglected Bay is still stuck since 2004!

AbHa (the original Arugam Bay Hotel Association) is considering:
Where did we go wrong?
Because we have little doubt that:

We represent the interests of the Arugam Bay Hotels, since 1999
Arugam Bay has been, without any doubt, the hardest hit area by the 2004 waves
The sea quake centre was, after all, […]
