The operator’s shift towards selling long-haul holidays to counter the collapse in demand for trips to terror-hit Egypt and Turkey has “paid off”, according to the Telegraph.
The firm is expected to top its own annual bookings growth targets of 10% in its full-year results with earnings around 13% higher than last year.
In the wake of the Turkey bombings Tui said its bookings to the terror-hit country dropped 40% - but added that 10% of its market had changed its plans rather than cancelling their holidays altogether.
City analysts now believe that Tui’s pre-tax profits could lift 5% above last year to £929 million due to its shift in capacity and surge in long-haul holidays.
