Tui is expanding its holiday offer from May

After the much discussed Easter restart on Mallorca, the tourism group Tui will soon be expanding its offer to other southern holiday destinations. From next weekend (May 1st) there will be trips to the neighboring Balearic islands of Ibiza and Formentera, the company said. A few days later, the first flights of the season to Faro on the Portuguese Algarve are planned for May 5th. Important Greek destinations such as Crete, Rhodes, Kos, Corfu and the western Peloponnese are to follow from mid-May. With a view to the Corona situation, the Hanoverians initially had to postpone a number of trips - but in the meantime the preparations and conditions in more and more regions are so advanced that a safe holiday is possible. "We are in close contact with the hoteliers and the governments in the destinations who have prepared intensively for the arrival of the guests," said Tui Germany boss Marek Andryszak. The hotels have "a good infrastructure for tests" and continue to have high hygiene standards. After the German travel warning for the Balearic Islands was lifted, Tui brought the start of the season planned there a week forward. From Andryszak's point of view, the model with the associated protection concepts has proven itself: "The Easter holiday on Mallorca has shown that package tours have no influence on the pandemic."
