Sri Lanka’s tourism and leisure
sector has entered a new phase of growth, with the post-pandemic recovery
driving renewed interest in the island as a prime destination for both leisure
and business travel. Tourist arrivals exceeded 2 million in 2024, and the
momentum continues in 2025, fueled by destination marketing efforts, improved
air connectivity, and a resurgence of global travel appetite for experiential
and nature-based destinations.
Despite this growth trajectory, the country continues to face a shortage of internationally managed, quality hotel rooms that meet evolving traveler expectations. This supply-demand imbalance presents a significant opportunity for experienced operators with scale, brand partnerships, and execution capability.
Softlogic remains strategically positioned to leverage this growth opportunity. Our investments in the leisure sector are guided by a long-term view of Sri Lanka’s tourism potential and a commitment to delivering world-class guest experiences. As part of this strategy, we have partnered with Minor Hotels, one of the world’s leading hospitality groups, to bring two internationally recognized brands, NH Collection Hotels & Resorts & NH Hotels & Resorts properties to the country. Complementing our hotel operations, Softlogic’s established travel and destination management business further strengthens our ability to offer integrated, end-to-end solutions to both inbound and domestic travelers.
