dp - this survey was done by MasterCard and they have nothing to do with internal politics of any country or growth of a country.

how poor can thinking be still a struggle to point fingers and direct credit to individuals time to think of national policies and the future of the cointry. This is a blessed country but unfortunately with people who are politically corrupted over decades not to think indipendantly without involving politics. via DM Android App

Well done by Gotabaya Rajapakse though the Mayor took a twist when MS came.
Aruna Thursday, 04 June 2015 05:39 PM
Well done Mr. MR, what we reap today is what you sow yesterday. Unfortunately we grow nothing today.

I agree. This is all artificial. People are struggling to put three meals on the table. Poverty is at an all time high.
Simenthi Sunday, 07 June 2015 07:15 PM
@das actually no it only keeps increasing faster. it grew 8.5% in april and 26% in May
dp Thursday, 04 June 2015 06:12 PM
65% of the population starving, Cost of Living in Higher rate for decade, Cheap labor more than 50% of the population salaries are less than $ 200 per month.Banks pay interest LK 500 rupes for 100000 rupes, lending rates are very high Rs. 1700- 2200 for a Rs. 100000.So what a growth can we see? It is just a gimmick for poor Sri Lankans.

We better enjoy the results now because soon it will be "
stardust Friday, 05 June 2015 10:52 AM
Yes, the headline of this article is not correct. The rating is only about the increase of foreign visitors, not about the growth of Colombo.

Its great indeed. Our potential is not known to us and we must show it to the world what Sri Lanka and Sri Lankans are capable of.

Yes Thanks to Gota and MR regime. BecauseColombo becomes the fastest growing city in the worldCountry becomes the fastest debt country in the world

This is excellent to hear. We know that, this was all the work of the previous regime. However, only a minority will understand the effect that will backfire on generations to come. This is not a prolonged achievement but an interim one. Hoping for the best, from the new regiment.
Kannan Friday, 05 June 2015 06:26 AM
North Indians and Chinese flocking to Sri Lanka to see the places where Tamil civilians were slaughtered enmasse. They want to see how their weapons worked.
Sri Lankan Thursday, 04 June 2015 07:36 PM
It should have been achieved long time back and entered into a different level but unfortunately "We hear this good news in 2015". It does not mean that we have surpassed New York, London, Dubai, etc.. Think of standing with big cities in the world. Congrats and All the best SL!!!
Joey Friday, 05 June 2015 12:08 PM
NO. all this statistic shows is an increase in tourist traffic from 2008-2015, and increase in cross border spending. Please put down your flag, nothing to get too serious about.
Elliot Friday, 05 June 2015 12:08 PM
I think people are getting a little too excited by this news. All this shows is there is a growth of 21% in terms of tourist traffic. Nothing to get too excited about.
Jesse Thursday, 04 June 2015 07:51 PM
Data was taken from 2009-2015. MR government had a vision for the future. His loss is our loss now because the same growth rate is not there to see anymore.
Neomal Thursday, 04 June 2015 08:00 PM
The ranking is based only on (1) total international visitors (2) their cross border spending. This is not the real growth for the country.
Kuda Banda Friday, 05 June 2015 07:47 AM
These the aritcle first this is based on last 6-7 years performance. Give the due credit to people whether you like it or not.
Frankly Frank Thursday, 04 June 2015 08:56 PM
Dear Gota, Please accept the nations thanks !
Mevan Friday, 05 June 2015 07:56 AM
Normally this kind of stats are published by reputed international organisations. Looks like this company is engaged in sales promotion in Asia.

Time to switch red lights on. We can stay on top forever.
Desapriya Monday, 08 June 2015 04:20 PM
We do not know with what measuring stick the Master card ranked Colombo. Master Card is not a prominent authority to award this type of ranking and they are a financial institution. In tourism Dubai is the fastest developing city in the world and anybody watching on ground, from the air or from the sea can realize it.
Lakshman De Silva Friday, 05 June 2015 08:30 AM

Fastest growing tourist cities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you dumb idiots dont get the words mixed upand Colombo is not worlds fastest growing cites! We are not China. Idiots
maverick Friday, 05 June 2015 02:03 PM
@Sikuru read the statistics carefully it says the fastest growing city over the last 6 years not last 100 days. If they make new statistics based on last 100 days , Colombo will be the least growing city in the world haha. Hats off to honourable MR and honourable Gotabaya for their hard work.
dilip Friday, 05 June 2015 02:04 PM
If this regime stays in power we will be at the bottom very soon.

Growth may be good for the country. But prosperity come with inner peace god moral less greed more respect for each other and plain hard work by the citizens.
