Many international airlines have increased the number of flights operated to Sri Lanka, indicating a clear increase in foreign visitors to the country. The increasing economic expansion in the country and the steady growth in the tourism industry have all increased the number of business travelers and tourists arriving in the country. The exposure received by Sri Lanka in the foreign media as a must visit tourist destination and the increasing tourist arrivals have also attracted many international leisure and hospitality brands to the country. Sri Lanka’s geographical positioning and the many trade agreements as well as trade concessions enjoyed by the country have also helped boost Sri Lanka’s attraction as a growing business destination in the South Asian region. Foreign businesses/investors could confidently explore the expanding business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka.
