Tui has been in “catch-up mode” so far this month following a slower than normal January booking period, its chief executive has admitted.

Detailing its first quarter results on Tuesday (11 February), Tui Group chief executive Sebastian Ebel said a cautious approach to capacity meant turn-of-year bookings were down.

The UK is 41% sold for summer 2025, 2% behind where it was at the same point last year.

“Bookings have been slower,” Ebel admitted. “We have been in catch-up mode for the last 10 days.” However, he added the market “has picked up quite considerably in the last few days”.
