Tui charts post-election upturn in both summer and winter sun sales

The operator said searches for late summer packages rose on Sunday (7 July) by 20% week on week, with bookings up more than 10% on Tuesday (9 July). Searches for winter sun holidays increased by almost 30%.

Tui did not mention whether the poor UK weather in the past few weeks was also a contributing factor. It said Greece was the most searched destination with Turkey, Cyprus and The Canaries all seeing more than 20% increases in in web searches week on week.  

The highest proportion of bookings came from the Midlands, up 19%, with the North and Scotland both seeing “significant uplifts” week on week. 

Tui UK managing director Andrew Flintham said: “After a season of debate and decision-making, we’re seeing a significant number of people wanting to recharge and reconnect with the world beyond the ballot box.  

“There are still good late deals for this summer from all our regional airports and free kids places for families to get the possible value”.
