TUI cancels more holidays to country after 'loss of life'

TUI has cancelled more holidays to Sri Lanka following a Foreign Office travel ban.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is advising against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka, due to ongoing political and economic instability. Several incidents took place on May 9 involving violence against peaceful protesters, including in the Galle Face area in Colombo, where the security authorities used tear gas and water cannons.

Incidents have also taken place in the Fort area, Beira Lake in Colombo, Kandy, and in other parts of the country, some resulting in injuries and loss of life.
