Sri Lanka has enjoyed rising popularity among British travellers this year despite the global recession, according to new statistics.

From all tourism source markets, Sri Lanka recorded an overall increase of 32% in inbound visitors last month.
The tourist board also revealed that forward bookings indicate a strong finish to the year following the relaxation of travel advice by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK.
Sanjika Perera, Sri Lanka"s UK tourism director, said: "We have worked on a persistent promotional campaign in conjunction with the hotel industry back home and with our airline and tour operator partners in the UK and the results have been very positive.

Travellers can catch flights to Colombo to visit attractions such as Yala National Park and Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka.
