The Mediterranean and the Canaries are the company’s top-performing destinations in its UK and German markets, as well as Turkey, the Balearics, mainland Spain, Egypt and Greece.

Tui reported record individual booking days for the UK market earlier in the year and, in the four weeks to 5 February, claimed bookings were around 10% up on 2019 pre-pandemic levels, with prices also higher.

Group chief executive Sebastian Ebel said Tui’s booking momentum “remains encouraging” with strong Easter demand “a healthy signal for the upcoming summer”.
