Sri Lanka tourism arrivals are projected to surpass the 2 million mark by the end 2024 and most importantly are expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels by 2025. Tourist arrivals have consistently exceeded expectations since the fourth quarter of 2023, signaling a robust recovery trajectory for the hotels and tourism sector.
As predicted 2024 commenced on a positive trajectory, with Sri Lanka welcoming more than 200,000 arrivals for the first three consecutive months, notes First Capital Research in their TOURISM SECTOR IN SRI LANKA “Travel Boom with Rising Trends” review.
“However, with the winter season drawing to a close, a slowdown in tourist arrivals is anticipated in the upcoming period. Based on the historical trend, potential pickup is forecasted for July 2024.”
