Jamaican government claims UK will lift travel advisory.

AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION-(C)1997-2003 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

The Jamaican government has stated that the UK will lift a travel advisory warning issued in response to recent rioting in Montego Bay.

The British Foreign & Commonwealth Office issued an advisory in late October

2003 several days after police killed two elderly men in Montego Bay, prompting residents to block an airport road with burning buses. The advisory said: "Visitors should be aware that there are high levels of crime and violence, particularly in the Kingston area and tourists should avoid certain routes," but also said that "the vast majority of visits to Jamaica are trouble-free."

Jamaican tourism officials criticised the advisory and said that it was premature.
