TUI has cancelled holidays to Sri Lanka until the end of May after the Foreign Office changed its advice warning Brits not to visit the country unless it's absolutely necessary.
The island has been facing an economic crisis with shortages of medicine, fuel and food, as well as daily power cuts due to electricity rationing.
As a result, protests have been taking place since the end of March, and earlier this month a State of Emergency and nationwide curfew were put in place. The Foreign Office warns that "several incidents took place on 9 May involving violence against peaceful protesters" on May 9 including areas in Colombo and Kandy, and that "further incidents could take place".
