Sri Lanka’s tourism industry continues to flourish, with the country earning over $1.5 billion in revenue during the first half of 2024. This significant milestone reflects the growing popularity of Sri Lanka as a travel destination, attracting visitors from around the globe.
Colombo, the country’s commercial capital city, played a pivotal role in driving tourism revenue. With its vibrant new entertainment options and landmarks paired with modern properties, Colombo has become a major draw for tourists. Major hospitality brands in the country, such as Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, have established highly rated, Colombo hotel rooms and serviced suites, including Cinnamon Red Colombo, located within the heart of the city. Other popular destinations such as Kandy, Galle, and the cultural triangle of the central region also contributed significantly to the tourism boom.
As Sri Lanka continues to recover from the challenges of recent years, the tourism industry is poised for further growth. With ongoing investments in infrastructure and tourism development, the country is well-positioned to attract even more visitors in the coming years.
