Sri Lanka holds withdrawal of on-arrival visa

COLOMBO (AFP) – Sri Lanka on Saturday suspended plans to scrap on-arrival visas for most nationals, including visitors from the US, Europe, Australia and Japan.




The government had announced it was withdrawing the landing endorsements from September 30 in a move widely seen as potentially damaging to the island's tourism industry, which is recovering from 37 years of ethnic conflict.



"Notice is hereby given that the earlier public notice on 'Withdrawal of on-arrival visa facility' be treated as withdrawn until further notice," immigration controller W.A.C. Perera said in a statement posted on his website.



There was no further comment from the government.



Perera had said those visiting Sri Lanka would be expected to obtain a visa from a Sri Lankan mission abroad before arriving on the island.



However, visitors from Singapore and the Maldives, which grant Sri Lankan passport holders visa on arrival, were to be exempted from the restriction.



The decision to tighten entry controls came as the government raised fears that Tamil Tiger rebels may try to regroup and revive their separatist movement with the help of ethnic Tamils living abroad.



The US state department warns its nationals of Sri Lankan descent that they may be subjected to additional scrutiny on arrival at Colombo's international airport.



"In some cases, foreigners of Sri Lankan origin may be detained without their embassies being notified," the state department said in its travel advisory to US citizens.



Sri Lanka has granted tourists a 30-day visa on arrival since the 1970s as part of a move to promote tourism, which was badly affected by the island's ethnic conflict which ended in May last year with the crushing of Tigers.



The local tourism industry has been buoyed by a near 50 percent increase in foreign visitors since the end of fighting last year.



Sri Lanka hopes to double the number of visiting tourists this year to 600,000.

Sri Lanka - Central Highlands, a World Heritage

The Central Highlands of Sri Lanka was added to the World Heritage List by the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee (WHC) at its 34th Session in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia. This was a unanimous decision of the WHC.




The Sri Lankan nomination was the first to be considered among 32 nominations (6 natural, 24 cultural and 2 mixed - Sri Lanka and USA).



The Central Highlands, described by UNESCO as a “super biodiversity hotspot,” is home to an extraordinary range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species such as the western-purple-faced langur, the Horton Plains slender loris and the Sri Lankan leopard. Earlier this month, scientists captured the slender loris on camera after many feared it had already gone extinct. The flora of the Knuckles is so distinct that it is recognized as a separate floristic region within Sri Lanka. At least 10 of the 23 endemic bird species that make Sri Lanka an Endemic Bird Area, are also present in the Knuckles Range.



The area identified by UNESCO includes the Peak Wilderness Protected Area, the Horton Plains National Park and the Knuckles Conservation Forest. It is after a lapse of 19 years that a property in Sri Lanka has been inscribed on the World Heritage List; the previous property listed being the Dambulla Rock Temple as a World Heritage Site in 1991.



Deputy Minister of Environment Faiszer Musthapha stated that this decision is a resounding vote of confidence for Sri Lanka and the President by the international community. He hailed it as a victory for the people of Sri Lanka, who have suffered immensely from the debilitating impact of the scourge of terrorism that had plagued the island nation for almost three decades.



Heading a delegation to Brazil, the Deputy Minister Musthapha underscored the fact that the inscription of the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka as a World Heritage Site would promote the government to mobilize additional resources, and allocate them for the further protection and conservation of the environmentally fragile areas of the site.



Sri Lanka has a total of eight World Heritage sites. The six cultural sites include the historic cities of Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Galle, Kandy and the temple in Dambulla. The Sinharaja Forest Reserve is the other natural site.



The World Heritage list currently includes 899 properties in 149 countries around the world that the committee deems as having “outstanding universal value.” The sites consist 696 cultural sites, 176 with natural significance and 27 that have both.

Britain has removed restrictions on travel imposed on its citizens touring Sri Lanka’s northern region

COLOMBO - Britain has removed restrictions on travel imposed on its citizens touring Sri Lanka’s northern region.
“This latest change means we no longer advise against travel to any part of Sri Lanka,” British high commissioner in Colombo Peter Hayes said in a statement Friday.
Most western nations have now relaxed travel advisories following the end to Sri Lanka’s protracted battle between the government troops and Tamil Tiger rebels in May last year, Xinhua reported
