Sri Lanka Tourism has earned record revenue of US$ 2.48 billion so far and also surpassed their target of 1.5 million arrivals.This is the first time in the history of Sri Lanka tourism industry that 1.5 million tourists have arrived in the island in 2014.
Sri Lanka has earned US$ 1.6 billion from tourism in the first nine months of this year. One of the main reasons for this leap in tourism is the permanent peace which has made Sri Lanka one of the safest countries in the world. After ending of the war, Sri Lanka has also received tremendous publicity by several leading magazines like National Geography, New York Times and several others.
In addition the promotions done in several countries including China also helped to increase arrivals.
In addition the anticipated opening of several world famous chain hotels like ShangriLa, Movenpick and Hyatt has also helped Sri Lanka to achieve the target of 2.5 million arrivals set for 2016.
To date India, Germany, UK and China remain as the top four markets for Sri Lanka.
