Tourism has traditionally been the third largest foreign exchange earner in the country. Sri Lanka recorded over 1.9 million tourist arrivals in 2019, a 21 percent drop from the previous year owing to the aftermath of the April 2019 Easter Terror Attacks. It is estimated that the sector earned around $3.5 billion in 2019. Approximately 570,000 tourists arrived in 2020. The effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic crippled the sector in 2020, which is currently catering almost exclusively to local tourists and international arrivals under strict “travel bubble” restrictions. Sri Lanka offers a mix of attractions including beaches, wildlife parks, rainforests, tea plantations, ancient ruins, Buddhist cultural sites, and festivals. Sri Lanka ranked 77th out of 141 countries in the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019 of the World Economic Forum. India and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) contributed the largest number of tourist arrivals, followed by the UK, Germany, and France.
