Workforce and Migration Patterns of Sri Lanka’s Tourism Industry

The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) was commissioned by the ILO Country Office for Sri Lanka and the Maldives to conduct this study with the aim of better understanding decent work deficits that may push workers away from the local market and to investigate how workers navigate transnational labour supply chains in seeking jobs overseas.

This report considers factors that drive workers from the Sri Lankan tourism industry to migrate overseas; seeks to understand the impact of labour turnover on the local industry; and identify the recruitment channels workers use to secure labour market opportunities overseas.
