Summary
Three years ago, Sri Lanka teetered on the edge of economic collapse. Three years on, the country appears to be on the road to recovery. Though the island nation still has many obstacles ahead, one bright spot is the revival of its tourism industry. Tourism has been a key source of foreign currency, and a way for the government to show that Sri Lanka is stable, investment-friendly destination. It hopes to attract 3 million visitors this year, an increase of about 30% from 2024 numbers.
Is it a sustainable pathway out of its economic doldrums? And, while most locals welcome the opportunities that tourism brings, in some pockets, friction with foreigners has left Sri Lankans feeling unwelcomed in their own homes.
