Operators suspend tours to Kenya

Saturday, 04 Jan, 2008 0

Tour operators have suspended holidays to Kenya until tomorrow (January 5).

 

The move by members of the Federation of Tour Operators followed advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which has recommended against all but essential travel to the country.

 

Tour firms are suspending holidays to Kenya with departures due up to and including Saturday due to the current political unrest, the FTO said.

 

Customers due to fly over the coming days should contact their travel agent or tour operator.  

 

“Alternative holidays for these customers will be offered where available or refunds of moneys paid,” the FTO said.

 

“Customers currently in Kenya are being advised of the Foreign Office advice to travellers and are expected to return home on their planned departure dates.”

 

The situation is being reviewed daily and any changes to departures planned after January 5 will be made over the coming days and customers notified in
advance.
