The tour operator, like many others, cancelled its programme for the rest of the summer in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in the country at the end of June.

Cook originally cancelled its programme up until the end of October, with customers able to amend or cancel free of charge.

This has now been extended to February 13, 2016.

“The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has confirmed that the state of emergency in Tunisia had been extended by a further two months from 31 July 2015.  Accordingly, the FCO has updated its advice, which counsels against all but essential travel to the country,” the company said in a statement.

“In light of these developments, and given that we have no clear indication as to when the FCO travel advice may change, Thomas Cook can confirm that it has taken the decision to cancel all bookings to Tunisia up until 13 February 2016.”
