UK’s Flash Pack ranks Sri Lanka as top destination for solo travellers in 2025

Daily FT: Flash Pack, a leading UK-based travel company specialising in group adventures for solo travellers aged 30 to 49, has named Sri Lanka as the top destination for 2025 in its latest travel trends report.
Flash Pack’s latest trends report reveals, with solo travellers getting older and increasingly drawn to Asian destinations, Sri Lanka has secured the most popular spot for 2025.
In a report by online travel magazine ‘Globetrender’, Flash Pack says the appeal is clear, adding: “Sri Lanka packs in all the punch of India – only on a smaller, more accessible scale, and delivered at a much slower pace.”
The company highlights diverse experiences from “incense-swirled cities, buzzing with tuk-tuks” to “misty highlands steeped in tea plantations” and dramatic coastlines.
“But where Sri Lanka really comes into its own,” the company adds, “is in its easy-going balance of beaches, spoiling hotels, and restorative, delicately spiced food.”
The data also shows that the average age of Flash Pack’s solo travellers has increased from 36 to 39 since the pandemic, reflecting a maturing market for independent adventure tourism. This shift coincides with a boom in “social travel” – a trend that fostered over 160,000 new friendships, including 50,000 in 2024 alone.
Asia dominates the solo travel landscape, securing five of the top 10 most popular destinations for 2025. Following Sri Lanka in the rankings are Bali and Mexico, highlighting a diverse mix of cultural experiences sought by modern travellers.

OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s steadily growing tourism industry would see further growth with the country being recognized as a must visit tourist destination covering various segments by leading travel publications and businesses. The growing tourism industry has also made it a key revenue generator to Sri Lanka with local tourism authorities making further plans to promote the country as a tourist destination in new tourist source markets through new tourism concepts. All this growth in-turn has resulted in the expansion of business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, especially in the leisure and hospitality sectors. The development of infrastructure and supplementary infrastructure required by the local tourism industry to meet the increasing demand in the country have also added to the business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry. The interest shown by international leisure and hospitality brands to enter Sri Lanka’s tourism market while local businesses are also engaged in expansion programmes indicate the growing business potential in the industry. Given the growth and business potential in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry and related sectors therefore present lucrative business/investment opportunities for foreign businesses/investors.
