TUI has extended its suspension of holidays to Sri Lanka - even though the UK Government has lifted its advice against travel to the country. The Foreign Office change came just 24 hours after the UK's biggest tour operator confirmed it was cancelling holidays to the destination until September 11 at the earliest.
The TUI bulletin stated: 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 September 11, 2022.
"We will be proactively contacting all impacted customers in departure date order to discuss their options. Please note this advice does not apply to customers transiting through Sri Lanka’s international airport.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and update customers should there be any further updates. We would like to thank our customers for their understanding at this time."
