Travel firm Tui's European bookings jump on pent-up demand
Travel firm Tui has said bookings have jumped by 1.5 million since May, primarily driven by bookings from continental Europe.One travel expert said UK bookings were lagging because of "the unpredictability of government advice".
Tui said that about 4.2 million customers had booked for summer 2021, with an increase of 1.5 million bookings since May. In the third quarter, only 50,000 customers departed from Tui's northern region, composed of the UK and Ireland, the Nordic countries, Canada and Russia. "But within three weeks, Portugal was back on the amber list at short notice, triggering a rush to the airports," he said.
