Sri Lanka plans to open its doors to international visitors by taking all precautionary measures to make the island country as safe as possible, according to media reports.
Sri Lanka Tourism has pulled out all the stops, ensuring that every precautionary measure has been set in place to make the island getaway as safe, secure and serene as possible for the visitors.
Recently, Sri Lanka Tourism published 'Safety Protocols' to be followed by the tourism industry stakeholders and visitors. These protocols were issued by the Ministry of Health and adopted by Sri Lanka Tourism after analysis of the situation and following multiple consultations with all relevant stakeholders and health professionals.
Sri Lanka offers a 'Quarantine free' visitor experience where the visitors can enjoy all facilities in their respective hotels, including the swimming pools, spas, gym etc.
Meanwhile, the only requirement put in place for the safety of the traveller, tourism stakeholders and Sri Lankan community is the need for the travellers to stay at a 'Safe and Secure' certified Level 1 hotel or hotels in the initial 14 days of their stay.
This protocol ensures the creation of a bio-bubble for international visitors, assuring the safety of the local communities, industry employees, and visitors to the industry.
As per the safety protocols published, Sri Lanka does not require a minimum number of days to stay, i.e. visitors to the island can stay even 3 to 4 days.
