Tui has said UK customers’ holiday bookings this summer are nearly a fifth higher than before the pandemic, with a rise in long-haul trips to the Caribbean and Cape Verde thanks in part to less strict Covid rules.
The travel firm has had a total of 6m bookings for this winter and the summer. In November and December, bookings were affected by the spread of the Omicron variant and fresh Covid-19 restrictions, but Omicron is no longer an issue, its chief executive, Fritz Joussen, said.
