Holiday makers TUI have cancelled all holidays to a tourist hotspot up to and including May 31 2022, following updates from the Foreign Office - urging Brits not to travel to the country unless completely necessary.
The change in advice comes following erupting protests across Sri Lanka, with the country currently facing an economic crisis. Medicine shortages are in place, as well as a lack of fuel and food - with widespread power cuts due to rationing in electricity.
The MEN reports that protests have been ongoing since March 31, with a state of emergency being declared this month. An island-wide curfew has also been put in place alongside it - following violence against those peacefully protesting. The Foreign Office has also in-turn updated their travel advice, warning UK travellers against visiting to the destination unless essential.
