Europe’s largest travel group has hailed a “promising start” to its winter holiday season as more customers fly in low-demand months.
Tui said it had seen an increasing number of tourists travelling during the “shoulder months” including September and November.
These are traditionally less popular, but can help tourists avoid the extreme heat of summer and overcrowding during school holidays.
Off-peak season: Tui said it has seen an increasing number of tourists travelling during September and November
Egypt, Cape Verde, Thailand and Mexico are the most popular winter destinations, a Tui spokesman said.
The German company also revealed that its annual profits are expected to rise by “at least” a quarter thanks to booming demand. The group has recently raised prices in a bid to cope with higher costs.
Summer getaways were 3 percent more expensive this year than last and are up 5 percent so far in winter.
Tui said its summer bookings were up 6 per cent on last year, reaching 14.7 million. Winter bookings are up 7 per cent so far.
