Stefan Baumert, the new managing director of Tui Germany, rejects vacation trips only for vaccinated and convalescent people. You don't plan that on board your own airlines or in the hotels.
In an interview with the newspapers of the Funke media group, the manager said, among other things, that no regulation in the direction of 2G is planned. However, he also admitted that one has to comply with the official requirements of the respective state. This means that if 2G or even 1G is required on site, Tui will also implement this.
In general, the Tui Germany boss sees a “new normal” when traveling. The progress of the vaccination campaigns in the summer meant that business was "off to a good start" again. At the same time, customers would deal with travel warnings differently and book and travel despite them.
The statement by the Tui manager shows that the inflationary and incomprehensible issuing of travel warnings meant that the deterrent effect fizzled out. Surveys show that many citizens simply no longer take these seriously or ignore them entirely.
Tui boss Baumert also told the Funke newspapers that the booking behavior had changed. If "before Corona" was sometimes booked up to a year in advance, travelers now buy "very quickly". In the week of departure you would still sell up to 15 percent of the capacity.
