New itineraries on rivers like the Danube and Nile are in the works, complemented by sleek, new ships and routes in Egypt and Eastern Europe. The result? A cornucopia of cultural and luxurious adventures to lure travelers away from the ordinary Alpine holiday[2][4].
- Experience and Comfort: TUI's pulling out all the stops to entice Brits to venture towards the less conventional winter locales, including Asia and its surrounds. Their services offer personalized indulgences, such as British tea in-cabin, along with pre-booked shore experiences, making their exotic escapes even more enchanting[4].
In a nutshell, TUI's ditching the Alps for warmer climes. They're promoting sun-drenched, culturally rich destinations in Asia and the Middle East, expanding river cruises to tropical destinations, and beefing up direct flight options to these fresh, winter hotspots. TUI's betting on rising consumer appetite for sunny getaways, rather than snowy ski vacations[1][2][3][4].
