Muscat: People from Oman looking to spend a holiday in Sri Lanka can now do so, after the island country began once again welcoming tourists. Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Sri Lanka had stopped all leisure travel to the country for a period of 10 months, and measures have been put into effect to test visitors for the disease.
Up to 2,500 tourists will be allowed into Sri Lanka each day. While applying for a tourist visa online, travellers now have to pay $40 (OMR15.5) per PCR test for up to three swab tests, depending on the length of stay, and $12 (OMR5) for mandatory COVID-19 insurance of up to US$50,000, valid for one month. “Another requirement is an advance booking at one or more of 52 properties certified as Level 1 hotels under the Sri Lankan government’s Safe and Secure scheme,” said Ameer Ajwad, the ambassador of Sri Lanka to Oman.

After a 10-month ban on overseas visitors, Sri Lanka is now accepting tourists from all countries except for the United Kingdom (a flight ban has been imposed to keep out a new variant of Covid-19). Kimarli Fernando, the Chairperson of the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, said in a statement, “As we open our doors to the world once again, we have 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.”
