一 | Colombo, Oct 17 (UNI) Sri Lanka saw its earnings from the tourism trade fall in September for a second consecutive month due to weaker arrivals ahead of a more prospective season which has got underway from the start of October and ends in January.
According to the data available through September, tourism trade has brought in $ 53.6 million in foreign exchange, bringing the cumulative nine-month earnings to $ 946.4 million, the Daily Mirror reported on Monday.
The September earnings were lower than both July and August when the figures for those two months were $ 85.1 million and $ 67.9 million respectively.
In the same month a year earlier, the trade had earnings of $ 35.3 million from 13, 547 visitors when the country was under lockdowns, the newspaper said.
In this September, 29,802 tourists travelled to Sri Lanka which was below 37, 760 arrivals in August and 47,293 arrivals in July.
Sri Lanka’s monthly arrivals exceeded 100,000 through March as the country got off to a fine start to tourism with high hopes of the foreign exchange it could generate in 2022, after two years of near decimation of the industry due to the pandemic, the report said.
In the nine months, Sri Lanka has welcomed 526,232 visitors as tourists.
With the start of the winter season in Europe, Sri Lanka is looking at a possible increase in bookings, specially from countries such as Germany and Switzerland.

据报道，美国财政部长贝森特当地时间24日宣布，美国当日发起对伊朗“经济孤立”的新一轮制裁措施，旨在切断伊朗政府每条经济生命线，直至其完全孤立。当日有记者就此提问。
林剑：中方坚决反对没有国际法依据、未经联合国安理会授权的非法单边制裁。
二 | 经济战、极限施压无助于解决问题，只会进一步激化矛盾冲突，造成风险外溢，扰乱全球的经济金融秩序，损害他国正当权益。 当务之急是推动局势降温，尽快回归对话谈判轨道。中方将采取一切必要措施，坚定维护自身权益。(完) 【编辑:胡寒笑】。
