UK’s revised travel advisory boosts confidence in Sri Lankan tourism Featured

Sri Lanka’s tourism sector is expecting a multiplier effect across all key source markets following United Kingdom’s recent update on the travel advisory for Sri Lanka, which will immediately result in a significant boost in tourist arrivals in the upcoming summer season.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) updated its Travel Advisory for Sri Lanka last week, with effect from April 5, after holding on to it since the economic and political crisis.

The President’s Media Division asserted that this update encompasses various aspects including access to emergency medical services, security entry requirements, road safety, overall security situation, and health facility accessibility.

The revised advisory no longer includes previous concerns regarding shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. In addition, the previously mentioned risks related to limitations in health services including the lack of medical equipment, have been omitted
