The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority reported 138,405 foreign tourist visits in August, marking a substantial increase in arrivals. From January to August 2023, over 900,000 tourists visited, highlighting a positive trend for the country’s tourism sector. August notably ranked as the second-highest month for tourist arrivals this year, following a strong performance in July with 143,039 visits. Minister of Tourism and Lands, Harin Fernando, unveiled a significant global promotional campaign, investing 1.6 billion rupees to attract more visitors. With ambitions to welcome two million tourists in 2023, especially during the upcoming bustling winter season, Sri Lanka’s tourism industry aims for continued growth and recovery. As Sri Lanka intensifies its global promotional campaigns and aims to attract more visitors by year-end, hotels in the country such as Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, one of the best hotels Colombo has to offer, and more will benefit significantly.
