Tui remains optimistic: The travel giant expects 75 percent of the usual business in the summer. There are already around 2,8 million bookings, according to Tui boss Fritz Joussen.

The CEO based his hopes on the vaccination campaign in Great Britain, among other things. This allows the British to hope for tourist activities soon - trips abroad should be allowed again from mid-May. That reports the Star. The kingdom is one of the most important Tui markets. 

The company also referred to the rapid vaccinations in the USA and has corresponding expectations in European countries as well. Tui was also hit particularly hard by the severe consequences of the pandemic. The group received loans totaling 4,3 billion euros to overcome the crisis.
