U.S. Government Softens Travel Advisory For Popular Destination As Weeks Of Unrest Come To An End

The U.S. Department of State regularly updates travel advisories for countries around the world to ensure its citizens know what to expect when traveling. For instance, on November 26, Americans were warned about armed robberies targeting U.S. citizens on Highway 85D in Mexico .

Similarly, back in December, Madagascar was added to the U.S. “Reconsider Travel” list following civil unrest. Now, the U.S. government has decided to soften its travel advisory for this African country, adding Madagascar to its “Exercise Increased Caution” list, alongside countries such as Italy, the Maldives, and Costa Rica.

Here is a closer look at the new advisory, what happened in Madagascar in the last few months, and which areas tourists should continue to avoid.
