The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) yesterday said there were no plans to introduce a licensing scheme for three-wheelers to transport tourists.

“There is no ban or a scheme planned as such,” SLTDA’s Acting Director General Vipula Wanigasekara said in response to media reports, which said it had banned the transportation of tourists by three-wheeler taxis that are not licensed for that purpose.

Whilst denying reports, Wanigasekara however said that going forward SLTDA expects three-wheelers to raise the standard of service and fair pricing for the growing number of tourists who use this value-for-money mode of transport for short distance travelling.
