Thomas Cook is forecasting a surge in bookings to Tunisia next year as the destination benefits from being a non-euro country.

Tunisia's beaches are normally a big attraction in the autumn

The tour operator reintroduced the North African destination earlier this year and expects to see significant growth in Tunisia bookings after deciding to increase weekly flights from 11 this summer to 17 in 2019.

Cook said Tunisia was benefiting from being a non-Euro destination, which meant it could offer “quality holidays at an affordable price” to UK consumers.

Bookings are already “up five-fold” for Tunisia, said Cook, with the share of family bookings for summer 2019 rising by 16 percentage points to 66% compared with this time last year.
