In case you are planning for a beach vacation and haven't booked your tickets, here's something that might interest you.
Recently, the government of Sri Lanka announced the launch of the free visa on arrival facility to citizens of 48 countries, from August 1 for a period of six months. In the list of countries are India and the Philippines. Citizens from these two countries form among the largest communities in the UAE.
The move is a step by the island country to woo back visitors after militant attacks on Easter Sunday.
Daesh on April 21 bombed churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, killing more than 250 people, including 42 foreign nationals.
Several countries then issued travel advisories, undermining the crucial tourism industry. Foreign visitor arrivals in May fell 70.8 per cent, the lowest since the end of Sri Lanka's civil war a decade ago.
A government document seen by Reuters showed the cabinet had agreed to scrap tourist visas, which typically cost $20 to $40 and are applied for online or at Sri Lankan embassies and consulates. Visa-free entry will be available to 48 nations, including China, India, and the United Kingdom.
Here's the complete list of countries:
