Britons prefer non-EU holiday destinations

LONDON: British holidaymakers are favouring destinations outside the European Union after repeated delays to Brexit discouraged travellers from booking early and prompted them to look further afield, travel firm Thomas Cook said yesterday. Turkey and Tunisia are among the biggest beneficiaries from the trend towards non-EU bookings, with demand for both recovering after security concerns curbed bookings in recent years. Britain was due to leave the EU on March 29 but new deadline of Oct 31 was agreed with Brussels.
