The
British
Government
has
revised
its
previous
advice
on
travel
to Sri
Lanka
the
British
High
Commissioner,
Dr Peter
Hayes
said “I
am
pleased
to
announce
that we
have
relaxed
the
restrictions
on
travel
suggested
in the
advice
we give
to
British
visitors
coming
to Sri
Lanka.
We no
longer
discourage
British
holidaymakers
from
enjoying
leopard-spotting
at Yala
National
Park,
surfing
at
Arugam
Bay or
admiring
Trincomalee
harbour,
one of
the
world’s
deepest
natural
ports".
We’ve
taken
this
decision
based on
our
assessment
of the
improving
security
situation
in these
parts of
Sri
Lanka,
he said.
According
to the
British
High
Commissioner
the UK
discourage
British
tourists
from
travelling
to Sri
Lanka
due to
the
uncertain
security
situation
in areas
recently
affected
by
conflict.
