The UK’s leading travel company officially re-brands today as Thomson transitions to TUI, following an extensive awareness building campaign across a six-month period.

TUI Group has launched a campaign to raise awareness that Thomson is changing to TUI with a new TV ad debuting during ITV’s flagship Saturday night programme, the X Factor. The advert shows a man diving into clear crystal blue water; the message was simple, ‘Thomson is changing to TUI’.

TUI AG has agreed on the disposal of all its remaining shares in Hapag-Lloyd AG, some 8.5 million shares. The disposal took place in an open market block trade to a guaranteed minimum price close to market closing.

TUI Blue Jadran, the seventh hotel of TUI Group’s new experience hotel brand, has opened in Croatia. The building is considered to be the oldest hotel on the Croatian Adriatic coast.

The world’s largest tourist organisation, TUI Group, has confirmed the completion of the disposal of Travelopia. The deal was originally announced in February 2017.

TUI Group continued to deliver its transformation in the first half of 2016/17, as the integrated tourism business focussed on its hotel and cruise brands. Overall, the group delivered strong turnover growth and an improved operating result.
