SRI Lanka’s tourist arrivals in June increased by 8.8 per cent in spite the ongoing economic crisis, surpassing the 400,000 mark in the first half of this year.
According to the Tourism Ministry, a higher number of tourist arrivals were recorded last month due to cricket matches played between Sri Lanka and Australia.
According to official figures, tourist arrivals in the first six months of this year amount to 411,377, with India being the largest source market for Sri Lanka, followed by Britain and Russia.
Sri Lanka’s tourism industry had been facing obstacles in recent months due to a severe fuel shortage and the worsening economic crisis. (Xinhua/NAN)
