Sri Lanka has been ranked 9th on BBC Travel's list of the "25 Best Places to Travel in 2025."
Journalist Claire Turrell highlighted the country's stunning tea plantations, ancient temples, wild elephants, and surf spots.
Despite recent challenges, Sri Lanka is focusing on recovery through tourism, with notable developments including Kandy's first seven-star hotel, a $1 billion megaresort in Colombo, and the launch of the new airline Air Ceilão.
Tourists can explore the new 300 km Pekoe Trail, enjoy scenic train rides, and even self-drive tuk-tuks across the island, supporting local communities.
Sri Lanka’s innovative and sustainable travel initiatives make it a must-visit destination for 2025.
