The Government has decided to waive off the annual registration fee of all tourist establishments and individuals listed under the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) for one year as part of relief and support to revive the sector impacted by COVID-19 pandemic,.
Institutions or persons who have already paid the 2020 annual registration fee will not be required to pay for 2021, and those who have not renewed registration for this year can do so without paying a fee.
The decision was made by SLTDA following the instructions given by Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga.
“The decision was made as part of a short-term initiative to provide relief to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Minister told the Daily FT.
