The nation's biggest tour operator has cancelled more trips to Sri Lanka amid the country's state of emergency and ongoing civil unrest. TUI has axed holidays to the Indian ocean island until at least July 31, after previously halting trips until July 18.
The travel giant 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 July 31, 2022.”
In Sri Lanka, protestors have since taken to the streets of the capital Colombo and demonstrators have been pictured invading the presidential palace. Citizens angry over a devastating economic crisis that has triggered severe shortages of food and fuel also took over other government buildings.
