Sri Lanka tourism growth continues: 96,507 arrivals in February 2022
SLTDA reports steady growth in tourist arrivals, with February seeing an increase from January figures.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority reports 96,507 tourist arrivals for February 2022—a significant increase from January's 82,327. The month-on-month growth demonstrates sustained recovery and growing international interest in Sri Lanka as a travel destination.
This upward trend reflects eased travel restrictions globally, improved travel sentiment, and word-of-mouth recommendations from travellers who have rediscovered Sri Lanka's magic. From families exploring the island's wildlife and beaches to adventure seekers hiking through the mountains, visitors are returning in growing numbers. The recovery offers hope to local communities and the broader tourism economy.
