(UTV | COLOMBO) – The pilot operation to open the country to tourists, after lengthy restrictions owing to the coronavirus, commences today(26).

However the proposed visit of 200 Russian nationals to the country scheduled for today has been delayed following the emergence of a new variant of the novel coronavirus.

Over 200 people were due to arrive in Sri Lanka today, onboard Russian airline Aeroflot, marking the official reopening of the country for tourists during the COVID-19 era.

However, the group of tourists from Moscow, Russia will arrive at the Bandaranaike International Airport only later this month.
