The Chinese travel market has always been one of the top markets for Sri Lankan tourism over the years. Because of the fact that this market does not hesitate to spend on the experiences they receive, for the Sri Lankan tourism sector, they are much more profitable as well. It is predicted that the wealthier this market gets day by day, the more they will spend on their travel requirements and this, indeed is great news for all players in the Sri Lankan tourism sector.

Last November, at the Chengdu International Tourism Expo, in which the Sri Lankan Tourism Promotion Bureau officials also attended, Sri Lanka was identified as a ‘Must visit destination’ to all Chinese travellers. With this declaration, it is expected that tourism hotels in the country including many of the downsouth Tangalle hotels, which are considerably distant from Colombo hotels will also reap benefits in terms of tourism revenues. Areas such as Tangalle in Sri Lanka are also tourist-friendly by now with the establishments of star-rated hotels the likes of Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort that provide world-class hospitality services.
