The Government is planning to open the country’s borders for tourists, but will confine them to coastal areas in the south, east and the northwest of the country.
The details on reopening of the country for the tourism sector were discussed on Friday at a meeting presided over by Basil Rajapaksa who has been appointed to chair the Presidential Task Force in charge of Economic Revival and Poverty Eradication.
The Health Ministry has been told to draft the required health guidelines.
The moves come in the wake of intense lobbying by the tourism sector because of heavy losses incurred over the years, especially this COVID-19-hit year.
