Can Spiritual Tourism in Sri Lanka Be Uplifted?

Spirituality plays a significant role in promoting tourism in many countries, including Sri Lanka. As a large number of tourists embark on pilgrimages, meditation and yoga retreats, and trips to spiritual places of worship, the probability of uplifting spiritual tourism in Sri Lanka is high. It is estimated that from 2021 to 2028, the religious tourism market can rise at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 6%, from $ 1,071 million in 2020 to $ 1,704.2 million in 2028. As the island nation is rich in spirituality, spiritual tourism can further elevate the Sri Lankan tourism industry: This can attract more visitors to luxury hotels in locations of spiritual significance. For example, people exploring Dambulla, home to many Buddhist sites, can experience a serene getaway at Heritance Kandalama, a beautifully designed Kandalama hotel for nature lovers.
