What the petition asks
Remove Sri Lanka from the Travel Red List
With Sri Lanka being on the Red List it makes it financially impossible for people born in Sri Lanka & now living legally in the UK to travel home to see their loved ones. Tourism in Sri Lanka contributes almost 13% to its GDP & is being crippled by being on the Red List.
The tourism sector in Sri Lanka is key to economic growth and employment generation.
