Thomas Cook says bookings to Egypt seeing “bounce back,” resumes flights to Tunisia

Thomas Cook has seen a “bounceback in markets such as Turkey in Egypt” so far this year, Reuters reports, despite the UK FCO’s advice against all but essential travel by air to or from Sharm El Sheikh, which pushed Thomas Cook to cancel holiday bookings to the South Sinai resort through the winter of 2017-18 season. Thomas Cook has, instead, increased the number of scheduled flights to Hurghada and Marsa Alam. The news comes as the FCO as “softened” its travel advice on Tunisia, prompting the tour operator to resume trips there. The Brits’ travel advice on Egypt remains unchanged.
