france_flag.jpg On October 02nd , the French Government officially lifted the adverse Travel Advisory affecting Sri Lanka, with immediate effect. The French Government has communicated with citizens that “traveling to Sri Lanka is as good as Travelling to UK or any other similar country.” this is a green light for Sri Lanka lovers to visit our country.

The Sri Lanka Tourist board had invited an independent Security team from France to visit Sri Lanka and assess the security situation here. The French Government acting on this report has completely relaxed the adverse travel advisory which has been imposed in Sri Lanka on 2006. However, the North and East have not been ruled out as insecure zones.

The Minister for Toursim Milinda Moragoda and his team were able to successfully convince France on the recent security situation.

The Ministry of Tourism, SriLankn Air Lines and Travel agents and other stake holders have all cooperated with the Government in this effort.

As a last minute travel option, you should try booking at a travel lodge instead of your usual hotels. If you have managed to get your hand at cheap flights , it is even better. You don’t have to bother about rental cars though.
