Sri Lanka has announced free of charge visa extension for tourists stranded in the country after Cyclone Ditwah. Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority said it has asked airlines to provide a “full waiver of flight cancellation and date change fees for tourists” and to offer “flexible rebooking policies” for those affected by the cyclone. The tourism authority said the verification process for the rebooking and cancellation would be straightforward, noting that “a passenger’s declaration of being affected by the weather is sufficient to qualify for the waiver.” It has also set up a 24-hour hotline for tourists needing immediate assistance. https://hubs.li/Q03Wf6rG0
