<p>Tour operator Thomas Cook has warned political unrest in travel hotspots Egypt and Tunisia would hit second-quarter profits by around £20 million.</p>
<p>The group said that, while Government travel advice on Tunisia had improved, restrictions to Egypt were ongoing for all but the Red Sea resorts amid escalating anti-government protests.</p>
<p>Thomas Cook said it was switching its travel programme to other holiday destinations to help offset the financial impact.</p>
<p>Riots on the streets of Tunisia last month forced 3,000 British citizens to return home, while the uprising in Egypt has prompted the Foreign Office to advise against all non-essential travel to the cities of Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez.</p>
<p>Manny Fontenla-Novoa, group chief executive of Thomas Cook, said: &#8220;The situation in Tunisia and Egypt is fast-moving and our principal concern is for the well-being and safety of our customers.</p>
<p>&#8220;We continue to monitor the situation closely and contingency plans have been implemented to redirect our holiday programme to other destinations and help mitigate the financial impact.&#8221;</p>
