COLOMBO (News 1st): The Sunday Times reported that there is a growing concern about continued arrivals in Sri Lanka from Pandemic-stricken India, particularly of workers availing themselves of 14-day “quarantine packages” sold by some travel agents.
According to the report since Indians have been barred from directly entering a number of countries from India, many have opted to quarantine in a separate country before travelling to their final destination.
Thereby certain Sri Lankan travel agencies had published advertisements promoting Sri Lanka as a country where Indians can undergo quarantine.
The Sunday Times reported that the travel bubble concept for Indian tourist visiting Sri Lanka was misused by 2 leading travel agencies and other small scale travel agencies quickly followed suit in promoting Sri Lanka as a country for quarantine.
