NAGLABAS ng travel advisory ang  United States Embassy kung saan pinayuhan ang mga mamamayan nito na maging maingat sa pagbibiyahe sa Central Visayas, sa harap ng bantang pagdukot sa mga turista. “The US Embassy has received unsubstantiated yet credible information that terrorist groups may attempt to conduct kidnappings in Central Visayas, which includes both Cebu and Bohol provinces. US citizens are advised to carefully consider this information as you make your travel plans, and to review personal security plans, avoid large crowds and gatherings, and remain vigilant at all times,” sabi ng US Embassy sa advisory sa website. Muling nagpaalala rin ang embassy sa patulou na banta ng terorismo at pag-atake sa mga mamamayan nito sa iba’t ibang bansa kasama na ang Pilipinas. “Extremists have targeted sporting events, theaters, markets, mass transportation systems–including airlines, and other public venues where large crowds gather. Crowded nightclubs, shopping malls, buses and popular restaurants have also been targets. US citizens should be mindful of the importance of taking preventative measures to ensure their safety and security while traveling and residing in the Philippines,” ayon pa sa US Embassy. Patuloy na nakaalerto ang mga otoridad sa harap ng banta ng Abu Sayyaf, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, Ansar Al-Khilafa Philippines at ng Maute group.
