A | 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.

B | 美国国会众议院外交事务委员会主席麦考尔表示,这是阻止中国开发先进人工智能的关键之举。此举将阻止美国英特尔和高通出售给华为任何芯片,还称这两家公司和中国“走得过近”。

C | 另据美国商务部证实,目前已“撤销了对华为的部分出口许可”。相关消息人士表示,美国针对华为的新举措,将影响华为手机和笔记本电脑芯片供应。

D | 近年来,随着中国企业的高速发展,美国“一家独大”的垄断地位逐渐被打破。对此毫无办法的拜登政府,便开始以损失自身企业的办法,打压中美正常的技术合作以及贸易往来。殊不知,这样的限制措施其实是“伤敌八百自损一千”。

E | 美西方那个的“小院高墙”再坚固,也挡不住中国坚持走自主创新的道路。

F | 事实已经并将继续证明,美国卡不了中国的“脖子”。美国如今对华关上合作的大门,实际上是将市场腾出来,拱手让给中国企业。
