Sri Lanka is reopening to tourists after more than nine months of travel bans due to COVID-19

After nine months of travel bans imposed under the COVID-19 pandemic, Sri Lanka is reopening to tourists.

The World Travel and Tourism Council has warned that nearly 200 million travel industry jobs could vanish worldwide as a direct result of the pandemic. Local authorities closed the island nation's two international airports in March as the pandemic wreaked havoc around the world. Officials initially hoped to reopen in August, but were forced to push the date back after the novel coronavirus continued to spread around the globe.
