Tourism From The Report: Sri Lanka 2019 View in Online Reader

The spotlight is very much on Sri Lanka’s tourism sector in 2019, after globally recognised company Lonely Planet named it as the number-one travel destination for the year. As the country embarks on a year of ambitious goals to attract more visitors, the sector is also at a critical juncture. Successful, sustainable growth will rely on a delicate rebranding of the destination’s reputation, from budget beach trips to a place where visitors are willing to pay all price points, including at the luxury level, and are well served. It is also important that growth is not achieved to the detriment of the island’s natural assets, both environmental and human. This chapter contains an interview with Hiran Cooray, Chairman, Jetwing Hotels.

Interview:Hiran Cooray In what ways is the country positioning itself as a luxury tourism destination? HIRAN COORAY: We have to focus on quality rather than quantity. If we only prioritise quantity, then our sector will not earn money and our natural resources will be depleted.

Sri Lanka - Statistics & Facts

Sri Lanka is a country in Southern Asia without land boundaries. Although its land area size is among the smallest in the Asia Pacific region , Sri Lanka is densely populated, being home to more than 21 million inhabitants . Interestingly, as a result of a continuously decreasing fertility rate over the last decade, Sri Lanka's population only grows quite slowly . However, the numbers increased by approximately 1.12 percent in 2016 - an exceptionally high jump compared to previous years. This could be an indicator for an increasing standard of living, which would encompass better access to health care and improved hygiene. Another indicator for this is an increasing life expectancy: Life expectancy at birth in Sri Lanka increased by a year over the last decade - not overly much, but definitely on the right path. The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka was under Portuguese and Dutch rule in the 16th and the 17th century, and it became a British colony in 1796 when the island was given to the Kingdom of Great Britain. The country did not gain its independence from the United Kingdom until 1948, and is currently a presidential republic. It is divided into 9 provinces, and has 2 capitals: Colombo, which is the commercial capital, and Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, which has the role of being the administrative capital. The official languages spoken in the state are Sinhala and Tamil. Sri Lanka’s economy was slightly weakened by the 2008-2009 economic crisis, but it quickly rebounded. Since 2010, gross domestic product has been progressively growing, picking up significantly after 2016. The country's growing economy is also a sign that the standard of living has been increasing for the Sri Lankans. In the last couple of years, the country’s GDP growth has been stabilizing at around 4 percent, and it is expected to continue this way. The services sector accounts for the lion's share of Sri Lanka's GDP generation and employs almost half of the labor force. One reason for this is the travel and tourism industry, which is amongst the most productive industries in the country. In 2016, travel and tourism contributed a total of 9.7 billion U.S. dollars to the Sri Lankan economy. Sri Lanka's most important import and export partners are China and the United States, respectively. Trade has been picking up, too, but even with export figures rising, Sri Lanka still heavily relies on imports, and thus has been reporting a trade deficit for years now.
