A family in Cape Verde is seeking answers after a series of deaths and illnesses among tourists. Over 1,700 people are taking legal action against TUI following a sickness outbreak. TUI expressed deep sadness over the incidents, emphasizing the importance of customer health and safety.
One family believes their loved one died as a result of the outbreak. The 71-year-old woman fell ill during her visit to Cape Verde in 2024 and tragically passed away on the plane ride back. Reports suggest that several British tourists have succumbed to gastric illnesses linked to their stay in Cape Verde.
The family, who wishes to remain anonymous, discovered diary entries detailing the deteriorating health conditions of their mother during her stay. The entries highlighted the poor conditions at the hotel, including issues with water supply and sanitation.
The woman’s health worsened during her trip, and she had to be hospitalized upon returning home. An examination revealed that the gastric illness she contracted during her holiday contributed to her death. The family received compensation from TUI for the substandard conditions at the hotel.
