Highlighting that at least 8.6% of tourists in Sri Lanka go to the north-east, Sri Lanka’s tourism board said it was caught unaware of the new travel restrictions placed on foreigners travelling to the North, reports the SundayTimes.lk.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority director general, said “I thought the ban was temporary due to President’s visit to the north last week. We have not got any communication as yet.”
