The government has taken cognisance of “revenge tourism” with the COVID-19 pandemic situation improving, and is trying to attract tourists usually flocking to Sri Lanka or even China for either pleasure trips or business deals, said Union Minister for Tourism G. Kishan Reddy on Sunday.
“We are trying to target tourists going to these two countries because of the current fragile situation in Sri Lanka following financial and political issues and the continuing restrictions in China,” he told a press conference at the BJP party office.
Revenge tourism refers to the phenomenon wherein people wish to break free from the pandemic fatigue and monotonous routine that has developed in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
