The Foreign Office has updated its advice for anyone travelling to Turkey this summer, with areas ruled 'off-limits. The advice was updated this week ahead of the key summer season that sees 1.6million British tourists visit the country.
The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) told BirminghamLive that guidance had been updated on June 28. A spokesman said: "The safety of British nationals is always our main concern in determining our travel advice. We constantly review our travel advice for each country or territory to ensure it includes up-to-date information and advice on the most relevant issues for British people visiting or living there.
"The changes to the terrorism section of each Travel Advice page reflect the fact that global terror threat is now more diverse and not limited to those inspired by Islamist ideologies. FCDO travel advice provides information to help British nationals make informed decisions about foreign travel but we cannot enforce it and it remains a decision for individuals whether they feel it is safe for them to travel to a particular country. "
