Triumphant Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's tourism industry has staged a remarkable recovery, receiving its one millionth tourist arrival early in September 2023, making it one of Asia's hottest holiday destinations. Considering the political and economic strife and uncertainty the country faced in 2022, the people of Sri Lanka fought hard for the leadership they hoped for and its great to see them doing so well.
Conde Nast Traveller Magazine places Sri Lanka as one of its Top two Asian destinations in 2024, with affordable Eco luxury and wellness as the big draws alongside more traditional cultural, wildlife and adventure experiences.
As one of the most critical sectors of the economy and one of the largest employers, tourism in Sri Lanka has been growing at 4.8% annually and is set to resume its position in the Sri Lankan economy in the coming months. Often labelled as Sri Lanka’s ‘Engine of Growth, ’ tourism continues to benefit from large-scale investments and enhancements to infrastructure in terms of roads, airports, airlines, and the construction of excellent new hotels, modern and traditional boutique, ensuring sustainability, for the preservation of its natural habitats at every step.

The Best Time to Visit Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination with guaranteed sunshine and excellent weather no matter when you choose to travel.
The Southern and West coasts are our favourite between October and March when they are warm and dry. During the summer months, when monsoon rains sweep much of the country, the Eastern and north coasts come into their own bringing these relatively quieter and culturally more authentic parts to life.
