Worried tourists can cancel Sri Lanka trips

Major travel agencies and airlines in China are allowing clients with travel plans to Sri Lanka to postpone or cancel their trips in the wake of a series of blasts on Sunday that killed at least 290 people and injured more than 500.

Xinhua reported on Monday that one Chinese had been killed, five were missing and another five injured, citing the Chinese embassy in Sri Lanka.

China-based travel agencies have reported no casualties among their clients visiting Sri Lanka at the time of the explosions, and they have taken measures to keep Chinese visitors safe and are allowing others to change their itineraries.
