The decline in earnings in May was in lockstep with the decline in the arrivals which also
halved to 30,207 from April and plunged 72 percent from March levels as travel advisories
were issued by several top sourcing markets in May

Earnings plunge to US$ 54.3mn from US$ 113.3mn in April and US$ 191.5mn in March
Cumulative earnings for January-March at US$ 680.7mn
Industry downgrades earnings target to about a billion dollars
Industry awaits extension of the debt moratorium by further 6 months
Foreign exchange income from tourism, the largest services inflow to Sri Lanka after remittances, more than halved in May as the island nation’s economic crisis and the resultant social unrest appears to be getting worse.
As a result, the industry which began the year with full of hopes to make the most from the pent-up travel demand after the pandemic, is now bracing for yet another challenging year with industry stakeholders making up their minds for about a billion dollars worth income in 2022, less than a third of what the industry was forecasting to achieve at the start of the year.

According to the earnings data published by the Central Bank, the industry saw its earnings plunging to US$ 54.3 million in May, less than half of US$ 113.3 million earned in April and less than a third from US$ 191.5 million earned in March.
