TUI has been forced to cancel more holidays to Sri Lanka, a popular hotspot for Brits until next month.

The tour operator has updated their current travel advice for any holidaymakers planning to travel to Sri Lanka this month.

The country remains on the UK Foreign Office travel ban list due to ongoing unrest.

TUI has been forced to cancel holidays to Sri Lanka all summer and has now confirmed more trips will be cancelled until the end of August.

TUI said in a statement on their website: “Due to the ongoing political and economic instability in Sri Lanka, the Foreign, Commonwealth and 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 15 August. We will be proactively contacting all impacted customers in departure date order to discuss their options.”

Passengers travelling through Sri Lanka on connecting flights aren't affected by the cancellations.

The current advice from the UK Government States: “The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advises against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka, due to the impact of the current economic crisis.” It's not the only reason holidaymakers may find their flights being cancelled this summer.
