As per a report, following a diplomatic dispute between India and the Maldives, it seems that a significant number of Indian tourists are now choosing Sri Lanka as their preferred destination.
In January 2024, Sri Lanka experienced a surge in tourist arrivals, surpassing the Maldives.
It also anticipates a further boost in tourist arrivals from India, Russia and Europe till the end of the winter season or the end of next month with more charter flight services and international airlines expanding their frequencies.
