Strengthening ties through travel: India emerges as Sri Lanka’s key tourism driver in 2025.
India continues to be the leading source of tourists to Sri Lanka in 2025, according to the latest figures released by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority. During the first six months of the year, Indian travellers outpaced all other nationalities in visitor numbers, reaffirming India’s vital role in Sri Lanka’s tourism recovery and growth.
This surge highlights the deepening cultural and economic ties between the two countries, as well as the appeal of Sri Lanka’s diverse travel experiences—from golden beaches to heritage sites and wellness retreats. Many Indian tourists are drawn to luxurious seaside escapes, including Wadduwa resorts; one standout is The Blue Water Hotel and Spa, known for its tranquil oceanfront setting and rejuvenating spa offerings.
As Sri Lanka continues to position itself as a premier destination in South Asia, the steady rise in Indian arrivals reflects a positive trend for the island’s hospitality sector and tourism-driven economy in 2025 and beyond.
