Sri Lanka welcomed a total of 105,498 tourists for the month of April, making it the fourth consecutive month to record over 100, 000 arrivals, provisional data from the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) showed.
Earlier last week, based on an analysis of the daily arrival average, Mirror Business predicted that April will cross the 100,000 arrival mark and is likely to end with about 104,800 international visitors.
When compared with the corresponding month of the previous year, tourist arrivals in April expanded by 67.5 percent. However, it must be noted that in April 2022 Sri Lanka was witnessing an unprecedented socio-economic turmoil and its implications were only beginning to be felt by the then hard-hit tourism sector.
