TUI Group Posts Record €1.46 Billion Earnings Amidst Strong Booking Surge in 2025

TUI Group announced a record-breaking financial performance for 2025, reporting its best-ever underlying earnings of €1.46 billion, a 12.6% increase year-on-year. Annual revenues also climbed by 4.4% to €24.2 billion. The holiday giant saw a significant surge in guest demand, with total group bookings rising 5% to 34.7 million. All key divisions, including Hotels & Resorts, Markets & Airlines, and TUI Musement, contributed to these record annual results, underscoring the company's robust operational strength across its diverse portfolio.

Sebastian Ebel, CEO of TUI Group, highlighted the company's success in a competitive market, attributing it to the strength of its proprietary brands like RIU, Robinson, TUI Blue, and TUI Cruises, alongside its expanding global distribution network. Ebel emphasized the strong performance of the Holiday Experiences segment and the strategic investments made in the Markets + Airline segment to expand its curated marketplace, laying a foundation for future volume and earnings growth. The company's strategic goal is to achieve global growth with differentiated products, aiming for greater independence from the challenging European market environment by offering a comprehensive travel experience from a single source.

Looking ahead, TUI Group is actively exploring growth opportunities through artificial intelligence, exemplified by its partnership with Mindtrip to make content AI-visible and bookable. This initiative aims to enhance customer planning and booking experiences, while the company also continues to value stationary travel sales for high-quality, expert-advised trips. Financially, CFO Mathias Kiep confirmed significant milestones, including a reduction in net debt to €1.3 billion and an improved net debt ratio of 0.6x, leading to credit rating upgrades. This solid financial footing now enables TUI to implement a new, attractive, and sustainable dividend policy, signaling confidence in its future outlook.
