A special programme will soon be implemented to provide vaccines against COVID-19 to people working in the tourism industry, Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga said.
He stated that the decision was made with the goal of reviving the country’s tourism sector, despite the pandemic situation.
He expressed his thoughts during a meeting held at the Batticaloa District Secretariat recently.
During the meeting, there was a discussion about prioritizing concessions for those who had previously worked in the tourism industry and restoring their industry. However there was some kind of miscommunication in messages reaching them, the Minister said. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
