UK Government travel advice update as Turkey half-term holidaymakers wait for news
An official update has been issued for travel to Turkey. It comes as many people in Nottinghamshire wait to see whether planned trips to Turkey will go ahead this half term.
Travel in the quake zone is almost impossible, hampering rescue efforts. In addition to the natural disaster, the area has seen affected by war over the past decade.The areas most badly affected are not popular with UK travellers. The worst hit region of Turkey, near the town of Gaziantep, is somewhere only intrepid tourists would normally visit.
The tragedy has occurred in the south east of Turkey. The main tourist resorts – for example, Bodrum and Marmaris – are in the south west, hundreds of miles away. Will my half-term holiday to Turkey be cancelled? At present, no airlines serving the UK have announced cancellations to their flights in relation to the natural disaster. And there is no indication that package holidays to the popular resorts on the Aegean and Mediterranean will be affected.
