TUI cancels more Sri Lanka holidays as Foreign Office warns Brits not to visit

TUI has announced further cancellations for holidays to Sri Lanka, due to ongoing civil unrest in the popular hotspot.

Last month Sri Lanka declared a state of emergency as the country faces a crippling economic crisis with shortages including food, medicine, fuel and power. As a result there have been protests across the nation, including protestors who have stormed government buildings.
