TUI cancels more holidays until August despite new travel rules

TUI has cancelled more holidays until August just days before new travel rules come into force.

From next week, double jabbed Brits will be able to return from amber list countries without having to quarantine back in the UK.

But despite the new rules being in place from Monday, the tour operator has cancelled many more holidays until at least July 31.

It also comes just a few days before the Government updates its travel rules to green, amber and red list destinations on Thursday.
