This roughly translates to \u201cthe eel that escaped your hands is the biggest one\u201d: an allegory for a missed opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sadly, too many Britons are missing out on the wonders of Sri Lanka \u2013 the country\u2019s ancient temples, idyllic beaches, cultural riches and diverse wildlife are some of the greatest wonders of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">But Britain\u2019s own foreign office is needlessly deterring its citizens from visiting. The FCDO\u2019s advice concludes that \u2018\u2019protests\u201d and \u201cviolent unrest can happen anywhere across the island at short notice\u201d, attacks could be \u201cindiscriminate\u201d and that \u201cthe authorities may impose restrictions, including curfews, with little or no notice\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Researching this further, we have seen neighbouring countries in the Indo-Pacific region are similarly affected by discrepant travel advice. In 2021, The FCDO did not update Laos\u2019 travel advice concerning Covid-19 when restrictions were lifted in the country six months prior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These inconsistencies risk undermining confidence in the whole system of FCDO advice, deterring everyday travellers needlessly but also provoking indifference in seasoned globetrotters who regard the government\u2019s views as hopelessly conservative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">We had therefore hoped to see changes to the Sri Lanka advice when it was recently reviewed in November. However the changes were synthetic and inadequate, with continued reference to \u201cviolent unrest\u201d which has long since ceased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As a tourism provider, my utmost priority is the safety and security of our travellers. The 2022 Sri Lankan protests have of course been shocking, not least to my friends and colleagues living and working in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">However, while the FCDO tows the media line perpetuating an unduly negative and damaging narrative, the reality on the ground for the average British national couldn\u2019t be more different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While the economic situation led to a temporary shortage of essential goods and widespread protests back in the spring and summer of 2022, the $2.9 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund allowed the economy to stabilise and the political situation to calm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sadly, this authentic portrait of a safe Sri Lanka is not present in the FCDO advice, with only the hollow inclusion of \u201csecurity was stepped up across the island\u201d. The tone makes Sri Lanka sound more like a police state than a thriving tourist hotspot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The advice has taken hold in the British public\u2019s imagination. I recently attended The Cheltenham Travel Festival to promote Sri Lankan tourism, and was questioned by the audience directly on how safe Sri Lanka is to visit. One audience member even quoted the FCDO advice back at me directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Meanwhile, Harin Fernando MP, Sri Lankan minister of tourism, tells us the advice has had a very real effect on tourism in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">And that, to me, is the particular tragedy. Poorly conceived advice impacts the citizens of Sri Lanka directly. The tourism industry in the country currently employs over 488,000 people and is anticipated to boost by 1.6 per cent each year until it reaches over one million by 2028. One-in-five people in Sri Lanka rely on income generated by tourism to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Since the launch of our open letter, we have heard similar stories of discrepant travel advice across the globe. Mike McHugo MBE, Owner and Managing Director of Discover Ltd, got in contact with us to share his own struggle to change the travel advice in Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Despite the low risk of safety to everyday travellers, the travel advice for Morocco advises tourists to avoid \u201ccrowded areas\u201d and \u201careas where foreign nationals and tourists are known to gather\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A new approach should ensure there is consistency across not just for the Sri Lankan tourism industry, but in countries across the globe. We hope that tourist industries and travellers alike one day will be able to place their trust in the advice once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Until then too many of the biggest eels of all \u2013 experiences in beautiful, safe Sri Lanka \u2013 will continue to slip through tourists\u2019 fingers.
