Covid 19 Update

Sri Lanka COVID-19 Travel Update
Updated 12th April 2022
- As the world begins to open up slowly and the prospect of travel becomes a reality again, Sri Lanka opened its borders for international travellers with a series of protocols and guidelines in place to ensure the safety of both visitors and residents as tourism resumes. Whilst there are certain restrictions in place, the Sri Lanka Tourism Department has taken every effort to ensure that travellers can still have an enjoyable and safe holiday experience in Sri Lanka.
- At Ceylon Insider Travels we are constantly monitoring the changing travel advice in Sri Lanka and internationally to offer you the best guidance possible. Your well-being and safety are always our highest priority. We remain operational online to assist our guests with rescheduling the holidays and planning the 2021 & 2022 journeys to Sri Lanka. We prioritize our invaluable guests in every way and look forward to assisting you on your next wonderful holiday to Sri Lanka.
- All the bookings and the payments will remain in-house to be applied to the rescheduled dates and discounts will be applied to all the bookings and new bookings.
- All the new and the remaining bookings will be kept updated on the latest measures that we have taken to guarantee the safety of each traveller and the measures that the government of Sri Lanka will be taking. You will be issued with a document that contains safety guidelines that we will be implementing for your trust and satisfaction during your holiday to Sri Lanka. These safety measures are being applied based on the guidelines issued by The Government of Sri Lanka, the Tourism Bureau of Sri Lanka and WHO. Your kind patience is greatly appreciated.
