SriLankan Airlines hosts a travel content creators FAM to Sri Lanka Trade Events The Digital Travellers team is currently in Colombo along with a few travel content creators from across India. Hosted by SriLankan Airlines, the main agenda is to give us a reality check of what is being propagated by the global mainstream media v/s the actual reality. After a day-long tour in the capital city with lunch at a local restaurant and shopping in a local market, here are a few facts: – Sri Lanka is safe to travel. – We agree with the fact that the country is going through an economic crisis but the protests are being carried out in a peaceful way. – Few of the travel companies and ground handlers in Sri Lanka have closed shops. For travel experts in India, kindly update your list and connect with a trusted ground handler in Sri Lanka. – Tourist sights, restaurants, hotels, and shopping centres are all operational. – Get your local transport sorted for a smooth travel experience across Sri Lanka. Why is this the best time to travel to Sri Lanka? – India is a last-minute booking market and with many countries delaying visa issuance, Sri Lanka is an apt destination which offers Visa On Arrival facilities to Indian travellers. – No RT-PCR or Antigen test is required to enter the country. – Travel insurance is not mandatory. – Hotels are giving out the rooms at discounted rates and tourist locations are not crowded yet.
