TUI cancels more holidays to Sri Lanka as Foreign Office warn against all but essential travel

TUI has cancelled further holidays to Sri Lanka, with all holidays up to and including June 12 being affected. The announcement comes as the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office continue to warn against all but essential travel to the country.

The warning comes as protests have been taking place across Sri Lanka due to an economic crisis. Locals are facing shortages of medicines, fuel and food as well as daily power cuts due to electricity rationing.

Several protests have taken place since March 31 and they are likely to continue. The FCDO announced that several incidents took place on May 9 which involved violence and have resulted in injuries and loss of life.
