Hours after Thomas Cook’s collapse, Turkish authorities moved to reassure tourists in Turkey who booked and paid for their holidays through the iconic firm.
The major British holiday operator and airline has “ceased trading with immediate effect,” British authorities said Monday morning. All bookings by the 178-year-old company — including flights and holidays — were canceled, they stated.
