Reisebranche: So zehren Iran-Krieg und Last-Minute-Trend am Tui-Gewinn
Tui spürt weiterhin die Folgen des Iran-Kriegs, viele Menschen buchen ihren Urlaub später. Doch es gibt auch Lichtblicke. Was erwartet Europas größter Reisekonzern für die Wintersaison?
In Hannover, the travel group Tui has observed the effects of the Iran war and the trend towards last-minute holidays in the summer. The booked revenue in the package tourism sector was five percent lower than the previous summer, the company announced on the basis of preliminary figures in Hannover. For the business year that continues until the end of September, Tui CEO Sebastian Ebel now expects a decline in the adjusted operating profit of 1.2 to 1.3 billion euros in euros adjusted for currency.
This corresponds to the middle of the current target range. No sign of the end of this trend is in sight: Initial trends for the winter season suggest to the group that customers, faced with geopolitical and economic uncertainty, continue to book their trips later than usual. Therefore, the CEO still has room to adjust the offer short-term to match demand.
Although the 2025/26 business year is almost over, Ebel still has not given a revenue forecast. The original revenue target had been scrapped in April due to the Iran war, and the profit target reduced. At the time, two cruise ships of the Tui Cruises cruise line were stranded in the Persian Gulf due to the outbreak of war and many people delayed their holiday bookings. Consequently, Tui management reduced its travel offer by five percent.
