Ceylon Chamber urges Govt. to revisit Visa strategy

News

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has urged the Government to consider all aspects of the new eVisa issuance process and review the pricing in the larger interest of growing the tourism sector.

Presently, there is great debate on the cost and process of the new system whereas the focus should be on destination marketing and improving the tourism offering.

“While we understand the requirement to streamline systems and processes, it is vital that is done with the objective of being competitive relative to regional peers. Hence, we request the government to consult the private sector and relevant stakeholders in devising a pricing mechanism and system which supports greater tourist arrivals,” the chamber said.
