The UAE-based Travel Off Path has listed Sri Lanka as one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in 2024.
The forecast is based on a thorough analysis of internet search volume data, revealing the growing interest and curiosity among travellers worldwide.
The list also includes Tunisia, Mexico, Moro-cco and the Dominican Republic.
“The Island nation of Sri Lanka has long fascinated travellers from around the world thanks to its exotic nature, warm climate, colourful culture and amazing food,” it noted.
Noting that Sri Lanka is regularly ranked as one of the cheapest locations for digital nomads, the Travel Off Path describes the country as offering a slower pace of life by the beach, with plenty of culture and natural wonders to keep you entertained in your downtime.
“Sri Lanka has reported strong tourism figures throughout 2023, with visitors from the United States being among the largest groups. It’s a country that has experienced some civil unrest in recent years, but that seems to be calming (US Department of State ranks it at Level 2), which will only help its cause to become one of 2024’s most popular destinations,” it said.
