This document analyzes factors affecting travelers' decisions to select Sri Lanka as a tourist destination. The researcher conducted a survey of 92 travelers departing Sri Lanka in December 2018. The survey examined how economic factors like cost and standards of accommodation, and non-economic factors like safety and services of tour operators influence travelers' decisions. The results found that cost, safety, and standards of accommodation had a strong relationship with destination selection, while services of tour operators had a moderate relationship. The researcher recommends Sri Lanka improve safety, promote destinations more aggressively, and develop innovative tour packages to increase repeat visitors.
