Sri Lanka’s tourism industry achieved a historic milestone in May, recording its highest-ever tourist arrivals for the month with 145,745 visitors, surpassing the previous May record of 132,919 arrivals in 2025 and registering a 9.65% year-on-year (YoY) increase.

The strong performance comes despite challenges posed by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which disrupted long-haul air traffic and increased travel costs across several key markets.

The latest data released by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) indicate a gradual strengthening in monthly arrival momentum after several months of relatively subdued growth.

The May performance pushed cumulative arrivals for the first five months of 2026 above the 1 million mark, reaching over 1.02 million visitors. However, year-to-date (YTD) arrivals remain marginally lower, down 1% compared to the corresponding period last year.

Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath yesterday described the achievement as a significant turning point for the industry, highlighting the recovery from pandemic-era lows.

India is not just a country with immense cultural diversity; it also has innumerable tourist destinations to explore. However, according to travel content creator and former actor, Shenaz Treasury, despite having such an advantage, foreign tourists refuse to visit here and prefer other South Asian and Southeast Asian destinations because we don't keep our surroundings clean.

On May 25, Shenaz, who recently travelled to Ella in Sri Lanka, shared a video comparing public cleanliness standards in Sri Lanka and India. The clip is now gaining attention on social media, with users debating civic responsibility and tourism culture online.
