Summary This case study reports on the evolution of tourism in Sri Lanka, a country that has endured multiple political shifts, economic changes, and a series of disasters. The frequent political shifts have shaped the policies and development of tourism. These political shifts and the 30-year civil war, tsunami, terrorist attacks (known as the Easter attacks), and COVID-19 are the major natural and man-made disasters that have interrupted the development of the economy. As a result, Sri Lanka has been put into a vulnerable position. An increased debt and foreign exchange crisis, and high inflation are present issues that the nation is dealing with. While these challenges have directly and indirectly impacted tourism in Sri Lanka the industry has shown significant resilience. Yet, the industry has more scope to improve its structure and tap into domestic tourism. Additionally, the ripple effect of disasters on tourism indicates the need to strengthen policies around disaster management and tourism. Information © The Authors 2024
