South Asia was the second fastest growing market reporting 14% year-on-year growth during March this year although in terms of visitor volume, it was still far behind other Asia/Pacific sub-regions (860,000 arrivals for the month). With the exception of the Maldives (which reported a 5% decline), all reporting destinations within this sub-region performed well with gains in foreign arrivals of more than 10% for the month. Nepal and Sri Lanka in particular were very strong performers during March 2012, with gains of 37% and 21% respectively.
