Should You Go To Sri Lanka? | Is it SAFE?

Today, you join us from the country known as 'The Pearl of the Indian Ocean', Sri Lanka. A country that has been on our bucket list for some time now, but in recent months has been going through incredibly tough times due to the economic crisis at the start of the year. After many months of being unsure whether to continue with our journey we finally decided to go and explore the island to see how things were...

Really great that you decided to still go there, it’s awful what’s happened to Sri Lanka, and these news stories have a terrible impact on tourism. Sri Lanka needs tourists to start coming back, and vlogs like these help to promote tourism & show that it’s still a safe place for tourists to go!

[@adamandyaz]

We are so glad we didn't listen to the news. It's really bad for tourism, Sri Lanka is ready for tourists, such a beautiful country and extremely safe! Hopefully a lot of people can see this 🙌

[@summapradeep3184]

@@adamandyaz thank you guts, you guys did a great job ❤

[@jayamahacar]

Yes it is SAFE & still gave facilities to tourists Also it THE CHEAPEST SPECIALLY WITH RUPEE DEPRECIATION for eg. 4 star room rate is US$ 122. KFC full meal in SL prohibitively cheap for $ 3 with same international quality. Also within a short time one can travel 400 km from beaches to ancient runins to jungles to tea estates in Hills etc Every Democrat country has protests even USA UK. But SL ones are mainly peaceful unless police attack them.

[@simpleenglish7038]

I Really admire your thoughtfulness as a Sri Lankan, and now the situation is getting much better, there are so many nice beaches of the down south side of Sri Lanka, open invitation for every one to come and experience our country since it would be nice experience for you gugs and really helpful to local people, those who go through a difficult time

Sri Lanka is very similar to my home state (Odisha, India), which is why i keep visiting Sri Lanka every now and then. Yes the situation is a bit bad now but you will find every Sri Lankan smiling at you. They don't have much to worry, India will be there to help out whenever they need us to. Apart from the government, even the people are deeply connected with Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful country and it will remain so for a long time to come.

The majority who are affected from the inflation here in SL are the ones like that lady who sold you that pair of pants. But tbh Rs.5000 is a rip off. 1000-2500 might be okay. We Don’t want the tourists to fall for scams like that. 😊 if they ask for a higher price, just feel free to bargain.😊 love the video ❤ & really appreciate the positive vibe you convey to the world about Sri Lanka. Stay safe Guys! Much Love from Sri Lanka ❤

5000 was definitely way too much but we just didn’t feel right bargaining with her because of the situation. Much love to you too 😃❤️

[@gimhanadasanayake9562]

@@adamandyaz If they don't compromise and seems price reduction is in vain, just tell "Ok thank you, I will look around" and pretend like going away. And then they will agree. But you should still pretend to go away. Then they will agree to reduce price in an unbelievable amount. That is how normal transaction happen here. Many of them try to exploit foreigners at their first chance.

agreed. we should facilitate them more. 5000 is not cool

As a fellow half Sri Lankan who has been there several times, you’re being quite self deprecating and crapping on your own people just to impress and buttkiss colonisers. Your own people are suffering immensely in a country that is conditioned to hide emotions and put on a brave face.

[@iam.romiyo]

@@rachkate76 that doesn’t give the right to overcharge the people if they give the 1st impression bad always its gonna reflect in our tourism. you are too dumb to see the relevance and rasicm apart. that is not my fault buddy and im not buttkissing colonies. his first impression is the last impression so keep that in mind how to treat everyone even the tourist, the same if you make a good impression on themselves, they will go on and say it is safe to visit Sri Lanka that will attract more to reserve in Sri Lanka in direct line. We have the SriLankan economy.
