Tui is seeing high demand for summer beach breaks

Jadeep Singh has been ordered to pay the firm £10,000 plus additional costs after the courts threw out his complaint.


Singh, 34, of Salford, went on an all-inclusive Tui (then Thomson) wedding break to Beach Palace in Cancun over November 19-27.


He later claimed became sick and suffered illness causes by hotel food and drink, Manchester County Court heard.


Singh though failed to disclose any evidence of sickness or photos from the wedding, and nor did any witnesses to his illness.


A Tui investigation rebuffed his claim, which was eventually dismissed by the court.
