The Sri Lanka hiking and trekking tourism market is poised for remarkable growth, with its market size estimated to reach USD 780 million by 2025 and projected to expand to a staggering USD 2.1 billion by 2035, according to industry forecasts.
This represents a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% over the ten-year period, underscoring the island’s rising appeal as a premier destination for adventure and eco-tourism in South Asia.
As global travelers increasingly prioritize experiential and sustainable tourism, Sri Lanka’s diverse topography – ranging from misty central highlands to coastal rainforests – has emerged as a significant draw.
The country’s expanding network of eco-lodges, national parks, and well-maintained hiking trails are driving growth in nature-based travel in Sri Lanka.
