TUI cancels more holidays to Sri Lanka amid turmoil in country

Travel firm TUI has announced cancellations of more holidays affecting customers this month. People booked to visit Sri Lanka will no longer be able to go, as the company has cancelled all trips due to the country's economic instability and subsequent protests.

Last week TUI said all holidays booked until July 18 will no longer be going ahead after the Foreign Office advised against any Brits taking unessential travel to Sri Lanka. But now the cancellations have been extended until, and including, Sunday 31 July.

In a statement, a TUI spokesperson said: "Due to the ongoing political and economic instability in Sri Lanka, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) have advised against all but essential travel. As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including 31 July 2022.
