Sri Lanka in the top 10 most Instagrammable list of a US travel website – Marking a change from years past

For a country like Sri Lanka, steeped in centuries of tradition, culture, and history – it can earn a presence amongst the various social media today. This potential is being recognized as time passes, with 100,000 foreign visitors in the last month recognizing the value hidden in the tropics of the Gem of the Indian Ocean. Consider the value of a city in Sri Lanka – its location and local features – that allows it to host resorts of such calibre as the Heritance Negombo.

However, it’s not the ability to host a Negombo beach hotel that makes Sri Lanka worthy of the social media sphere. Big Travel 7, a US-based travel site, recorded Sri Lanka as the 9^th most Instagrammable country amongst 50 of its peers, beating out the Maldives, Australia and Singapore, with Sri Lanka earning over 13 million hashtags on Instagram, and 16.4 billion TikTok views.
