Indian tourists far outnumber people from the rest of the countries
visiting Sri Lanka. This has again been confirmed after the September
2012 numbers were compiled and put out by the Sri Lanka Tourism.
In September this year, a total of 71,111 tourists visited Sri Lanka. Of
this, 13,888 (19.5 per cent) were Indians. The next largest group,
country-wise, was from the United Kingdom, 8586. While the overall
number of tourist arrivals from India didn’t change significantly
compared to September 2011, (just an increase of 4.2 per cent), the
numbers are increasing from the rest of the globe, as word spreads on
the newer properties, and the reign of peace by the Sri Lankan
government.
