L. Peiris left for London over  the weekend in an attempt to meet British officials and urge them to  withdraw a travel advisory on Sri Lanka, a government official said on  Sunday.External Affairs Ministry Secretary Karunatilleke  Amunugama told reporters that Peiris was hopeful of meeting his  counterpart though it was still not confirmed.The advisory  states there is an upsurge in nationalism and anti- Western rhetoric in  Sri Lanka and cautioned Britons visiting, working or residing in the  country to be extra vigilant at all times.It also advised  Britons to stay clear of local demonstrations, while women moving singly  or in small groups were told to be armed with self-alarm devices as  there was a steep increase in rape and sexual molestation cases.The  Sri Lankan government had initially raised its concerns with the  British High Commission in Colombo over the travel advice when it was  first released last month.However the issue went unattended as  the travel advice was released with amendments days later but with the  same controversial notes.Tourism industry officials in Sri Lanka  had raised concerns over the impact the travel advice may have on  British tourists visiting Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka is expecting more  tourist arrivals from Britain next year with British Airways resuming  flights to Colombo in March 2013.Xinhua</blockquote>
