BusinessAt least 10 per cent of tourists scheduled to visit Kandy have made cancellations ahead of their travel plans in the wake of the tension experienced in the district during the past few days. Kandy Hoteliers Association President Samantha Ratnayaka speaking with Times Online said that a few hotels had reported 5-10 per cent cancellations by tourists scheduled to holiday in Kandy. But to ensure the show goes on hoteliers continued to provide these shows at the respective hotels visitors were staying in. He noted that though restrictions were placed on social media access to individuals, corporate clients were not affected by it. February to April is the peak season for the Kandy hoteliers and in this context most hotels continued to remain full, he said.
