Cut-price paradise back on the map Best for: Culture, off the beaten track, value for money Battered tragically by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and wracked by civil war from 1983 to 2009, many areas of the country have remained off limits to even the most intrepid traveller. Now the bitter conflict is over, investment is fuelling the tourism industry, and visitor numbers are steadily increasing. Prices are affordable, and with low-cost flights from the convenient travel hub of Bangkok, Sri Lanka is emerging as one of the planet’s best-value destinations.

Tourist arrivals in Sri Lanka have achieved a growth of 17 per cent up to November this year with the total revenue surpassing 1 billion US$. The numbers have already gone past the record-breaking number of 1,005,605 tourists last year - Lanka Business Today

74 new hotel projects were approved this year to add a further 3075 rooms to Sri Lanka. Total value of these projects would be more than US $20 billion. Our target is to have 40,0 00 star class rooms by 2015 - Daily News

ahead rapidly as a well-educated and purposeful society, with the Government determined to speed modernisation

Sri Lanka, known to many simply as a beach resort destination, is one of today's fast modernising countries, claiming the attention of suppliers to its most important industry tourism.

The confidence of development banks (World Bank, ADB,IMF)

Constant GDP growth around 8%

Projects to build, modernise and expand hotels and all types of tourist accommodation throughout Sri Lanka plus boutique hotels and luxury guest bungalows

The Board of Investment (BOI), the agency tasked with attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to Sri Lanka, has been playing a pivotal role in executing this strategy, by attracting top tier tourism and hotel investors to the country. Companies that have already committed major investments include the premier Asian luxury hotel chain, the Shangri-La Group (Hong Kong/Singapore), India's upscale ITC Group, Thailand's Minor Group, Spain's RIU Hotels & Resorts, Singapore's Aman Resorts, Banyan Tree Group Singapore and the Mustafa Group of Singapore.

Furthermore, international brands such as the Sheraton brand of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Marriott International, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, Movenpick Hotels & Resorts Management and Onyx Hospitality Group have signed management agreements with local hotel companies.

Special opportunities in the East and North of the country, areas affected by the now concluded conflict, where tourism development projects are key to regeneration

Colombo itself is increasingly a pivotal air hub for regional trade. Business visitors from South Asia -India, Maldives, Malaysia, Bangladesh and elsewhere - can freely enter the country with easy visa procedures.

Rapidly growing business from new markets - arrivals from India, Europe and many parts of Asia
