Does anyone have any idea when we are likely to get an update on holidays after 11th June? I’m booked to go to Tunisia on 3rd July and like many people, am in limbo! Some media reports make me certain the holiday will be cancelled but others seem to be more hopeful!

Dunno but you can amend it for free according to the home page of their website, if that helps.

More recent reports as you say would suggest they are trying to get things moving from the 1st July, we won’t really know for certain on that front for another few weeks I would think. Do you know know how badly Tunisia has been affected by the virus?

Personally I can't see Tunisia  coming off the FCO advice not to travel anytime soon.

Tunisia has dealt with the virus very effectively it seems - around 1000 reported infected and around 30 deaths, which makes me dubious they would want to let the Brits in even if they do open their borders to some tourists.

Is this because of their low reported cases?

No, it's because politically there won't be any rush, countries like Spain, France have more clout to be removed.
I could be very wrong, but I feel the FCO advice will also based on economics

Oh dear 😔 that’s certainly not good news for the Tunisians either as they were only just recovering from the terrorist attacks in 2015

I agree, but I'm looking at it as the British Gov will be trying  to repair their  economy (as other countries will do to theirs).
In the next few years I expect to see a lot more self-interest
Maybe I'm looking at it completely wrong, and my cynical view will prove not to be the case.

2 flipping hours holding on the phone , for my refund then get cut off. no refund code supposed to be within 28 days of departure date, getting bloody fed up with TUI  now. Their website still down.

Yes I see that makes sense! Well I guess I will have to sit tight for a few weeks to see what develops, thanks for your input 😊
