More safe than many other destinations, for sure! More so, the presence of a white face is to been seen as contribution to the peace on our island: None of the parties at war wish to harm a foreign visitor. Indeed, there have been cases when the sheer presence of a tourist prevented a planned attack or outrage. Being local, or a long term resident one faces different dangers, of course. Depending on location and which side one happens to be on. I fully agree with the statement that Sri Lanka is a perfectly safe place for any foreigner to visit.
