Small businesses contribute to local communities throughout Sri Lanka. Family-run restaurants, independent guesthouses, neighbourhood shops and local craft producers offer visitors opportunities to support the people living in the destinations they visit.

Travellers can make a positive contribution by choosing locally owned services, purchasing handmade products and treating service providers respectfully. Paying agreed prices and avoiding unnecessary bargaining over small amounts can also support fair transactions.

Responsible tourism begins before reaching the destination. Visitors should check their Sri Lanka eVisa requirements and review their Sri Lanka e Visa information while arranging their holiday. Understanding the applicable Sri Lanka Visa conditions and retaining the necessary Sri Lanka ETA Visa details can help complete their travel preparation.
