Discussion of tourist arrivals and aviation industry developments in Sri Lanka. Content includes statistics on visitor numbers and airline milestones.

190,000 tourists in August sounds impressive until you realize half of them are just trying to find a decent WiFi signal to tell their friends back home they're having an amazing time. Meanwhile, SriLankan Airlines is celebrating 47 years of "connecting Sri Lanka to the world"—which is beautiful, really, considering they've spent most of those years connecting Sri Lankans to various airport delays around the world.
