In response to the tidal wave emergency affecting the South Asian Region, the Sri Lanka Tourist Board and Industry representatives are taking all necessary steps to provide alternative accommodation for visitors affected by the flooding.
Several hotels have been affected by flooding and guests have been evacuated for safety reasons.
The Sri Lanka Tourist Board is keeping all foreign missions based in Colombo fully informed to facilitate speedy responses to enquiries on the whereabouts of foreign guests.
Information regarding tourists in the Island’s coastal belt is being provided around the clock on the Hotline 94-112-437061.
Due to an influx of tourists from neighbouring countries affected by the tidal waves for emergency accommodation, the Sri Lanka Tourist Board has requested all foreign visitors to postpone their traveling plans with immediate effect.
Relatives and friends of tourists traveling in Sri Lanka are also advised to contact their respective Embassies and High Commissions. The Sri Lanka Tourist Board will provide regular updates on developments.
