Tunisia not safe destination for tourists until November 2016

One of the travel operators Thomas Cook has cancelled all British bookings to Tunisia until November keeping in mind the wave of violent protests across the country. The Foreign Office has also advised its people against all but essential travel to the north African country because it is experiencing its worst social unrest since the 2011 revolution.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 27 January 2016.

The British tour operator has stated that it has taken the decision to cancel all bookings to Tunisia up to and including 31 October 2016. While this could be frustrating to holidaymakers, the safety and well-being of travelers are the topmost priority.
The cancellation applies to some of the operator's foreign markets. However, its flights from France, Austria and Germany are still operating. The company has informed that customers can cancel or amend their holiday to another destination.
Tunisia is facing political turmoil over the past five years and it has handicapped the economy. Moreover, the north African country also faces jihadist violence that has taken a toll on its vital tourism industry.
