Tui chief executive Fritz Joussen said that “both destinations are back” as the company released its first quarter financial results.
“We see a return to Africa – in winter we see a return to Egypt quite significantly,” he said. “We also see a return to Turkey where we are still in the volume-building phase.”
Joussen admitted that Tui “took a risk” by staying in the Turkey market when demand dropped in recent years but this was now “paying out” as bookings were “now very strong”.
