Do Sri Lankan tour operators require a signed legal contract?

Established Sri Lankan travel agencies request a digital signature on a formal booking agreement, with cancellation rules clearly set out, liability bounds listed, and the exact service inclusions explained. This paper trail helps the traveller and the company if there is an unexpected disagreement or if a trip has to be cancelled suddenly.

Before you transfer any deposit, make sure you get a thorough invoice that shows the day-by-day itinerary, the exact hotel names, the meal plans, and the vehicle type that is actually being provided. Do not send funds to any operator only because of a WhatsApp chat, without receiving official booking terms that are company-branded.
