Insurance scheme for tourism industry: Minister

28 Jan 2021

The Government has decided to implement an insurance scheme for those engaged in the tourism sector, Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga said. He said he expects to introduce this insurance programme within the next six months with the assistance of the International Labor Organization. He was addressing a meeting of the Kandy District Samurdhi Development Committee held at the Kandy District Secretariat yesterday. The Minister further pointed out that those most affected by terrorism and natural disasters are those engaged in tourism. This is due to the fact that tourists limit their travel in the face of such disasters. Minister Ranatunga said that Rs. 89 million has been allocated for the infrastructure development of tourist destinations in the Kandy District. Accordingly, Rs. 75 million has been allocated for the development of the Mahaweli Stupa, Lankathilake Temple and Gadoladeniya Temple. "Rs. 7 million has been allocated for the development of the Peradeniya Railway Station as a tourist attraction. Rs. 2.3 million has been allocated for the development of the Kandy Railway Station," he said.
