Colombo, April 7 (Daily Mirror) - Travel Advisory of the United Kingdom on Sri Lanka has been updated on 5th April 2024. The travel Advisory has been updated with additional information on emergency medical numbers, road travel and safety and security on 'Entry requirements', 'Safety and security', and 'Health' pages.
References to shortages of food, fuel and medicine due to the economic situation in Sri Lanka contained in the previous Advisory have been removed from the updated Travel Advisory. In addition, references to limitations in healthcare services such as shortages of imported medicine, and medical equipment due to economic situation have also been removed. The High Commission of Sri Lanka in London has made repeated representations to the UK authorities on the need to remove these adverse references in the previous Travel Advisory to reflect the ground realities.
The updated travel advisory will be a further boost to Sri Lanka tourism industry which has recorded over 600,000 arrivals in the first three months of 2024. UK is the third largest source of tourist arrivals to Sri Lanka with 53, 928 arrivals between 1st January to 27 March 2024.

Harin,manusha,pathirana and kanchana seems to be the only government ministers who do some work rather than talking.This is why age matters when it comes to politics.

Yes, leave party politics and give credit where its due. I also feel those ministers did work well though I can't stand Harins bad mouth but he has done the job and we should appreciate it.

So you want to charge $50 for a visa? $100 for a visa extension? There are trash fires and rubbish everywhere. When you try to buy anything it is "Tourist price Tourist peice". You charge foreigners huge amounts to visit places of interest compared to locals. I think I will be spending my UK pounds somewhere other than Sri Lanka.

We learned the lesson during covid. Although easy money, tourism should not be a main economic source since it depends on so many incontrollable factors. But Sri Lankans have the habit of taking the easiest path
