DUBAI: Tourist arrivals in Colombo will fall by 50 percent over the next two months following the Easter Sunday bombings that killed more than 250 people, Sri Lanka’s Tourism Bureau Chairman Kishu Gomes said on Monday.
Tourist arrivals in areas outside Colombo will also go down by about 30 percent following the bombings, he told reporters at a travel conference in Dubai.
SriLankan Airlines’ chief executive Vipula Gunatilleka told Reuters at the conference that the carrier had a 10 percent increase in cancelations last week and expects that number to go up.
