At Gilly Bachelor Travel Experts, we recognise that planning a holiday involves striking a delicate balance between safety advisories and the true in-country situation. We believe in providing our valued travellers with fair and accurate guidance, so they can experience the world armed with the most comprehensive information.

We understand that FCDO advisories are just one component of a larger safety puzzle, and we consider the unique context of each destination in conjunction with these advisories. Our goal is to provide our clients with informed choices that support their desire to explore diverse cultures and enriching experiences while maintaining their safety.

Take, for example, the situation with Sri Lanka. Despite the FCDO’s removal of its advice against all but essential travel, warnings about the risk of terror attacks and political unrest remained prominent. This situation has spurred a collective outcry from the travel industry, with experts highlighting the long-term impacts of these warnings on Sri Lanka’s recovery efforts. However, with our expert local knowledge, we have had many clients enjoy safe and enriching holidays in Sri Lanka since the COVID-19 pandemic.

We stand by the notion that destinations like Sri Lanka and beyond are worth exploring, guided by wisdom and an adventurous spirit. Our approach revolves around a clear understanding of each destination’s unique context, in conjunction with FCDO advisories. We aim to provide our clients with a travel experience that is both safe and truly enriching.

Our pledge is to continue our approach of informed travel, where we thoroughly and critically review FCDO advice to ensure that our clients embark on journeys that are not only safe but also truly fulfilling. At Gilly Bachelor Travel Experts, we remain committed to providing our valued clients with fair and accurate guidance so that they can experience the world enriched by diverse cultures and guided by informed choices.
