Tui looks set to be sued by the families of those killed in the Tunisia terror attack last year, who believe the travel giant should have provided more warning about the risk of terrorism.

A preliminary hearing was heard yesterday at the Royal Courts of Justice, with a representative of the relatives stating that there were “likely to be civil claims” in the future, Sky News said.

The court reportedly heard that families were concerned about the lack of warning given to victims about the likelihood of a terrorist incident in Tunisia.

They have suggested that the companies put in place a “traffic light system” in brochures that would highlight the risk of terrorism in destinations around the world.
