Like many other major markets, Sri Lanka’s inbound tourism market too is getting dependent on Chinese arrivals. According to tourism consulting provided by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), there has been an increase of over eighteen percent in overall tourist arrivals in the country but Chinese visitors have grown by over forty two percent. China is now the second largest source market of tourists for Sri Lanka, only behind India. Travelers from China and India together now make up around a third of total tourist arrivals. Other major source markets happen to be Germany, UK and France but Russian numbers hit a decline.
