The Minister of Tourism Sri Lanka Prasanna Ranautunga made an official statement that the island is waiting for tourists. "This is our national responsibility to take into account the needs of our citizens who depend on this industry," the minister stressed.
True, for those who decided to relax on the fabulous island, you need to go through a small quest. First, when arriving at Sri Lanka, you need to have a negative test result for coronavirus, made not earlier than 96 hours before the trip. Already during staying on the island, you need to pass two more tests - on the fifth and seventh days of staying on Sri Lanka. If the visit lasts more than a week, then you will need to do the third text. All this - at the expense of the tourist itself.
During the rest you need to be in your hotel - the list is approved in advance by local authorities. But on the territory of the complex for tourists there are no restrictions: you can swim in the pool, engage in simulators, visit restaurants.
For those who survived quarantine, a visit to cultural monuments is allowed, but in strictly certain days and only in the group. The question of how many tourists will want to fly to rest with such restrictions. However, there are no direct flights from Russia to Sri Lanka. It is quite possible to get to the crosses, but representatives of Russian tourockers advise while waiting for charters or direct regular flights.
