FYI Postive update from TUI this morning for those who haven't seen...14 Jun 2023 10:09
FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - An announcement by Tui of bookings partly above pre-Corona levels supported the travel sector on Wednesday. Shares in the travel group rose by almost four percent at last count to 6.84 euros in Frankfurt trading, further consolidating their highest level since April. Other travel stocks such as Fraport and Lufthansa also gained up to 2.4 percent. In the pan-European Travel & Leisure sector, however, gambling group Entain consumed the picture with a share price slump due to a capital increase.
The German arm of travel group Tui benefited from strong demand despite high inflation. One looks at a strong summer season "and in recent weeks for the first time again with guest numbers above 2019," said Tui Germany CEO Stefan Baumert, according to the statement. Vacationers were again booking with longer lead times to secure a low price early. "And yet the interest in traveling in the coming weeks is so great that we have reordered contingents again in some destinations," Baumert said./tih/mis
