The US has lifted the travel advisory warning against visiting Arugambay, a popular surfing destination on Sri Lanka’s east coast, the foreign ministry here said on Wednesday.
Following the initial adverse security alert issued by the US, Sri Lanka “promptly implemented a series of coordinated security measures in the area to protect tourists, foreigners and residents against any possible threat”, the ministry said in a press statement.
Sri Lanka had requested the US embassy in Colombo to revoke its advisory, which had cautioned American citizens against travelling to Arugambay.
