15 Jul 2021

16 attractions to be opened up for tourists BY Dinitha Rathnayake  Tourists who are within the 15 day travel biological bubble are now permitted to visit 16 tourist attractions whilst adhering to the health and safety protocols issued by the Health Ministry. The Temple of the Tooth Relic or the Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy, the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, Popham’s Arboretum in Dambulla, the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, the Ridiyagama Safari Park, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, the Yala National Park safari, the Minneriya National Park, the Udawalawe National Park safari, the Horton Plains National Park, Mirissa, Sinharaja, the Hurulu Eco Park, and the Udawattakele Sanctuary are among the 16 attractions recommend for the tourists. Sri Lanka has decided to open all tourist attractions to overseas visitors who enter Sri Lanka via the travel bio bubble concept, according to the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA). However, the SLTDA will  ensure that all workers in hotels, tourist sites including parks, guides and others connected to the tourism industry are vaccinated in order to go ahead with the decision. In addition, the SLTDA has decided to waive off the charges in renewing the tourism business licenses. Prior to boarding a flight, travellers are required to have a valid tourist visa. Before applying for the visa, a pre-confirmed booking at a Level One “Safe and Secure Certified” hotel or hotels for up to 15 days depending on the duration of the stay, the vaccination status, the payment for the hotel or travel agent for the mandatory Covid-19 local travel insurance cover at $ 12 per day for a policy of US $ 50,000 for a period of one month (including for children below two years), the payment for the hotel or travel agent for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests ($ 40 per PCR test) depending on the status of vaccination and having a negative PCR test done within 72 hours before boarding the flight, are a must. Travellers who have completed the recommended doses of Covid-19 vaccination and arrive after two weeks of the completion of the vaccination will be considered as fully vaccinated travellers. Any vaccination type accepted by the country of origin is acceptable. Upon a negative on arrival (day one) PCR test report, vaccinated travellers can leave the travel bio bubble. The respective Level One hotel doctor will issue a “discharge document” upon verifying the status of the vaccination and the PCR test results.
