Sri Lanka travel advisory still at level 2
Same as France and Italy says US Ambassador
COLOMBO – Sri Lanka’s overall travel advisory has not been raised after the Arugam Bay-related threats, and remains at levels of many other countries, US Ambassador Julie Chung said.
“Our overall travel advisory for Sri Lanka remains exactly the same, at Level 2, which has been so for many years,” she told reporters in Colombo on Monday (28).
“And this is similar to advisories of many other popular destinations including the Maldives, France and Italy. All the same at Level 2; Sri Lanka remains at Level 2,” she said.
A Level 2 travel advisory means travellers should exercise increased caution.
Common risk indicators for countries that have a Level 2 advisory include crime, terrorism, civil unrest, and kidnapping.
“I want to also correct some misinformation out there. There is no travel ban on Sri Lanka. Our security alert last week was for Americans to avoid Arugam Bay until further notice,” she said.
