- **Hospitality Groups:** Premier properties operated by major groups like *Aman Resorts* (Amangalla) and *Jetwing Hotels* serve as massive local employers. - **Agricultural Exporters:** Various local companies headquarter their cinnamon and tea processing operations in the district, exporting high-value Ceylon cinnamon globally. - **D.S. Gunasekera Ltd:** A well-known regional enterprise involved in transport, fuel distribution, and trade across the Southern Province.
