The decision by Tui and Thomas Cook to cancel all holidays to Tunisia this summer is likely to put more pressure on capacity and prices to destinations in the western Med.

The UK’s major two tour operators both decided to cancel all flights and holidays to the north African destination until November 1 at the earliest.

The Foreign Office is continuing to advise against all non-essential travel to Tunisia, which both operators said was the main reason for the cancellation of the summer programmes to Tunisia.

The FCO advice has been in place since 30 British holidaymakers were killed by a gunman at a beach resort near Sousse last summer.
