Thailand Tourism Relations
Tourism continues to be an important pillar of bilateral economic cooperation.
Thailand remains an important source market for Sri Lanka, with tourist arrivals recovering steadily following the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2025, Sri Lanka welcomed 8,595 Thai visitors, representing an 18.6% increase compared to 2024.
The Embassy works closely with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, airlines, travel agents, media, and the private sector to promote Sri Lanka as a preferred destination for leisure, cultural, wellness, adventure, and Buddhist tourism.
