Tourism is a key sector for Sri Lanka's economy and represents an important source of revenue for the country. In 2019, tourism generated around 5 % of Sri Lanka's GDP and employed more than 400,000 people all over the country.
In 2019, Sri Lanka welcomed over 1.9 million foreign tourists, mainly visitors from Asia, Europe and North America. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions significantly curtailed Sri Lanka's tourism industry in 2020.
The Sri Lankan government has taken steps to support the tourism industry by offering tax incentives and soft loans to tourism businesses, as well as launching a tourism promotion campaign to support the resumption of activity once health conditions allow.
