"North Africa destinations have gone from strength to strength for Tui’s UK customers," said the operator.
Elsewhere, on the Med, Tui will open the 4T adults-only Tui Blue Levante in Majorca and Tui Blue Atlantica Sungarden Park in Cyprus in time for Easter.
Tui Blue Levante is situated on the seafront near Cala Bona’s bars and restaurants, and a short stroll to Cala Millor. Tui Blue Atlantica Sungarden Park, meanwhile, is a 15-minute walk from Nissi Beach near the centre of Ayia Napa, and comes complete with a new waterpark.
Finally, Tui Blue The Passage will become the third Tui Blue hotel in Thailand, situated in a beach location north-west of Koh Samui.
"The addition of these five resorts for summer 2023 is part of an ambitious growth plan for Tui’s global hotel brand," said Tui.
It plans to expand its Blue hotel brand footprint across four continents, with new destinations in Asia, the Caribbean and West Africa planned over the next two years.
