Tui extends the holiday season after summer's heatwaves

More people have chosen to holiday in the cooler autumn months, after temperatures in parts of the Mediterranean rose above 40C over the summer. Tui said demand for the usual final month of the season, October, was 8% higher than last year.

The Anglo-German tourism company, which operates hotels, aircraft and cruise ships, took 13.7m bookings for this summer - 96% of pre-pandemic levels and a 5% increase on last year.

Sebastian Ebel, the Tui chief executive, said: "We have seen strong demand in the final weeks of the summer season, which traditionally runs to the end of October. As a consequence, we recently announced the extension of the season into November in particular to Turkey and Greece, to cover demand outside the traditional summer season."
