Over the past decade, Sri Lanka has added nearly
25,000 rooms to its inventory, driven by both
international hotel chains and local operators. This
expansion includes developments at established
micro-destinations such as the seafront capital city
of Colombo, the Southern coast, the Central
Highlands, and the East Coast, while more recent
years have seen hotel investments in more remote
and rural regions, in bespoke, nature-based and
sustainability or wellness focused products.

The chart below depicts the current composition
of registered hotel room supply in Sri Lanka. It is
assumed that over 50% of the accommodation
inventory in Sri Lanka is informal, privately owned
and not registered, providing ample opportunity
for asset management through
professionalisation, consolidation and
repositioning of existing inventory. The chart in
Figure 12 above demonstrates the mix of Sri
Lanka’s total registered room inventory.
