China is now the top source of inbound tourists to Sri Lanka relegating India to second spot. However, many Chinese nationals have taken to illegal immigration and even set up businesses in Sri Lanka severely hampering local travel jobs. Many have gone on to become unauthorized tour operators and guides acting on behalf of some fictitious agency back in the mainland. Thus the Sri Lanka Association of Inbound Tour Operators (SLAITO) has enforced strict norms for all tour operators to comply with in order to curb this negative trend.
