Travel boom: TUI reports record bookings for summer destinations in Europe!

Mallorca, Spanien - The demand for travel for the summer shows a positive trend, as TUI reports. CEO Sebastian Ebel reports that at the beginning of June, over 60% of the summer offer in Germany were sold, which represents an increase compared to the previous year. It is particularly noteworthy that 90% of the capacities are already sold for popular travel destinations such as Spain and Portugal. Mallorca is a particularly popular goal. This development follows a phase of delayed bookings that could be observed in the weeks before.

In May, the summer bookings at TUI were still 1% below the value of the previous year. Tui attributed these weaker numbers to a lack of bookings during the Easter holidays and announced a catch -up. However, the market now seems to recover. A special trend is the high demand for cruises, which is described both strongly and sustainably.

acceptance of demand for USA trips

Although the overall demand increases, a declining demand for trips to the United States was found. However, TUI does not record comprehensive business in the United States. Nevertheless, popular travel destinations remain the Caribbean and Canada, while travelers use increasingly cheaper offers for autumn and winter to the Gulf States and Southeast Asia due to the euro appreciation. Surprisingly, customers do not feel the devaluation of the US dollar in bookings, since TUI bought or secured currencies in autumn.

diverse USA attractions

Despite the falling demand for trips to the USA, the country remains a popular travel destination. The United States offer a geographical diversity that ranges from Alaska on the Arctic Circle to sunny beaches in Florida. TUI describes the opportunity to combine various activities such as sports in the snow, hikes in national parks or relaxing beach holidays. The metropolises Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas are among the most famous cities that can explore travelers. In addition, TUI offers a variety of packages that combine flights, accommodations and activities to make your vacation as varied as possible.

Overall, it turns out that despite the challenges on the market, the Germans have increased the desire to travel for the summer and that further bookings are expected. The aim is to use the offers profitably and to offer travelers unforgettable experiences.
