Sri Lanka has been recognised as the ‘most family-friendly country’ for 2025, securing the top spot in a prestigious ranking by Conde Nast Traveller.

The island nation received high marks for its education system and affordable childcare, solidifying its reputation as a prime destination for families.

Sri Lanka achieved an impressive score of 0.7 out of 1.0 for its education system, reflecting the country’s dedication to providing quality learning opportunities for children.

Furthermore, the annual childcare cost in Sri Lanka was noted to be just US $ 354.60, a stark contrast to the exorbitant US $ 16,439.40 annual childcare cost in the United States, which ranked 10th on the list.

The recognition is no surprise to Conde Nast Traveller, which also named Sri Lanka as one of its “favourite places to go for multi-gen megatrips in 2025”.

The publication highlighted the nation’s welcoming nature, an emphasis on outdoor activities and its family-friendly hotels as key factors contributing to the ranking.

Beyond its affordability and educational advantages, it highlighted that the island nation boasts an array of attractions that make it ideal for family vacations.

“The country is home to some incredible wildlife, from vast national parks and sprawling beaches, plus there is fascinating history, creative coastlines, delicious food and an excellent shopping scene,” it said.

The recent rape of a female doctor was diabolical, but does not reflect society as a whole. On the contrary, I gather female solo travellers find Sri Lanka safer than many other neighbouring countries.

Sri Lanka must also be ranked as most Commission friendly country in the world. Everything used to happen with Commissions until NPP Government came to power. However, From the fact that even NPP Government does not want to take action against former Commissioners shows even NPP Government is not totally against Commissions. NPP Leaders going after Adani also confirms that they are not totally against Commissions.

Time to curb the tuk-tuk mafia’s harassment of tourists to prevent harm to the tourism industry, safeguard the destination’s reputation, and ensure a safe, positive experience for visitors.

Despite winning all these accolades Sri Lanka's tourist arrivals in the South and South Asian region is very low and should not be taken for granted. It is the trick of the trade.
