TUI has extended its ban on holidays to Sri Lanka - even though the UK Government has removed its advice against travelling 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.
"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.
The Foreign Office update came as the government on the Indian Ocean island confirmed a long-running state of emergency alert would expire on Saturday. It warned: "The major shortage of fuel – diesel and petrol – is affecting transport, businesses and emergency services. Hospitals and other medical services such as ambulances may be affected by shortages. There are daily power cuts due to electricity rationing.
