Tui has signalled a positive outlook for the coming year despite inflation and cost-of-living concerns.

Tui is optimistic for the industry for 2023

Chief executive Sebastian Ebel said: “We have seen a very encouraging booking momentum. We have seen January recording high numbers and we see also strong numbers in February. Forward UK bookings are very good.”

Ebel said there were few signs of customers trading down because of cost-of-living and inflation increases.

“Last year we could see people went on vacation one day longer and we anticipated this would go back to normal. That’s a trend we have not seen. The only thing we do see is people are thinking in budgets and within that they look for the right vacation. Therefore, long-haul is less attractive than the Mediterranean or Egypt.
