The UK's biggest tour operator has cancelled more trips to a popular long-haul destination after the UK Foreign Office restored advice against all-but-essential travel. TUI has extended holiday cancellations to Sri Lanka until at least July 18 following warnings of a "severe economic crisis" affecting the nation.
TUI initially stopped operating trips to Sri Lanka in May before extending the ban through June. The latest move follows reports of civil unrest and continuing political and economic instability affecting the country.
The tour operator said in a statement: “As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel all holidays to Sri Lanka departing up to and including July 18, 2022. We will be proactively contacting all impacted customers in departure date order to discuss their options.
