TUI has cancelled all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including 31 May 2022. This comes as the Foreign Office updated its travel advice for Sri Lanka, urging Brits not to go to the country unless it’s absolutely necessary.
The change in advice comes after protests have been taking place across Sri Lanka as the country faces an economic crisis. It includes shortages of medicines, fuel and food. Locals are also suffering from power cuts every day due to electricity rationing.
Protests have been taking place since March 31, while a state of emergency has been declared in May, alongside an island-wide curfew. Violence against those peacefully protesting in recent days has prompted the Foreign Office to update its travel advice to warn UK travellers not to travel unless they have an essential reason.
