Tourist arrivals surge past 1.6 m
Daily FT
|September 09, 2025
SRI Lanka's tourism sector has registered nearly 37,500 arrivals in the first week of September, surpassing 1.6 million visitors so far in 2025-a milestone reached a month earlier than last year.
-
Tourism stakeholders view the 1.6 million milestone as a confidence booster for the industry, which is targeting 3 million arrivals by the end of 2025.
With half of the year's target already achieved in just over nine months, they insist that the momentum in the coming peak season will be crucial to meeting these ambitious goals.
During the first week of September, Sri Lanka welcomed 37,495 visitors, reflecting a 28.23% year-on-year (YoY) increase, whilst the weekly average was up from 4,177 in September 2024 to 5,356 in September 2025.
