The Ministry of Tourism says the proposed official mobile phone application for the Sri Lankan tourism industry will be launched this year.
The Tourism app will allow anyone to purchase tickets online, to visit all tourist attractions and locations.
Any user will be able to book hotel accommodation at the same prices available for locals.
The app also includes a special feature where users will be able to make reservations through all foreign currencies.
Information on all hotels in Sri Lanka will be included in the mobile application.
It will also add value through features like providing information on tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, travel information, Google maps, graded tour guides, and tourist police emergency hotline services.
