Tui UK has confirmed it will continue to sell excursions to venues with captive dolphins despite agent pressure, with boss Andrew Flintham telling TTG the travel giant "will let the customer choose".
Tui has further clarified its stance following a petition from "well over" 200 independent travel agents, including most TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors.
The petition said Tui Group sold tickets to around 25 venues “holding approximately 400 dolphins”. An open letter to Tui told the operator 100,000 signatures had been collected from UK holidaymakers calling for an end to sales.
