Sri Lanka ended 2017 at 2.1 million arrivals, marginally higher than 2016 but below an earlier target of 2.5 million tourist arrivals for reasons including flash-floods, outbreak of dengue and the partial 3-month closure of the main international airport.
Arrivals in January to November 2017 reached 1.87 million, a marginal 2.5 per cent rise from 1.82 million in the same 2016 period. Arrivals last month reached 244,536 against 224,791 visitors recorded in December 2016.
The latest figures are available in the Sri Lanka Tourism new-look, user-friendly website which was launched recently. The website also has a new feature, a Chinese-language segment, catering to Sri Lanka’s soon-to-be second largest source market.
