What happens to my quote if the Sri Lankan Rupee fluctuates?

Established travel agencies help foreign travellers deal with local currency ups and downs by keeping the whole package quote tied to steadier currencies, like US Dollars (USD) or Euros (EUR). Once your deposit is taken, the foreign currency amount you were offered will not move, not even a bit.

When the price is set in USD, it helps prevent sudden price hikes for you if inflation messes with the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). In practice, the agency takes the small exchange rate headaches on their side when they pay local vendors and partners. You only really notice currency shifts later, when you are buying little personal things, meals, or souvenirs in cash while you are on the trip.
