The TUI GROUP Is A Company Of Opportunities

The TUI GROUP is a company of opportunities –
for its clients, shareholders, partners and employees. Under one roof, it unites TUI’s unique hotel portfolio, three cruise brands, six airlines and the sales strength of well-known tour operators, both online and through our 1,800 travel agencies across Europe. The guarantee of a consistent customer experience creates a unique economic advantage. Thanks to direct access to our customers, investments in hotels and modern cruise ships are made more predictable and ensure improved occupancy rates and capacity utilisation early on. This ensures that the TUI GROUP can grow faster and develop more exclusive holiday offerings for its customers.

With a total portfolio of more than 300 group and 50 partner hotels with some 245,000 beds in more than 25 countries, TUI Hotels & Resorts makes a significant contribution to the consolidated earnings of the TUI GROUP. With our leading leisure hotel brands RIU, ROBINSON, TUI Magic Life, TUI BLUE, Sensimar, Sensatori and Family Life, we are striving for significant growth in hotel properties, which is based on three major reasons to believe:

- For our customers, the hotel is the key decision factor when a customer makes a booking and it is key to customer loyalty
- For our industry, the leisure hotel segment is a stable and profitable business, with above-average growth prospects for our industry
- Therefore, expansion of our hotels and cruise ship business is one of the key strategic pillars of the oneTUI growth strategy for the TUI GROUP

This is where our potential lies: TUI Hotels & Resorts offers its guests individual hotel brands with a variety of concepts that allow them to find an offering that meets their needs and wishes. At our hotels, customer satisfaction and high quality are our top priority.

This is the successful concept that will drive our planned growth. To strengthen our position in relation to the international competition and to further extend exclusivity for our customers, we will be expanding our hotel and club portfolio significantly in the coming years. Access to the strengths of the world‘s largest integrated tourism group promotes our growth and makes us the ideal link between tour operators and hotel partners. Our strong hotel brands also form the ideal starting point for capitalising on the opportunities presented by ongoing digitalisation.

This brochure is intended to provide insight into our hotel growth strategy, our different brands and their search profiles for new hotel properties and strong partnerships. Let us inspire you how the TUI GROUP can be your preferred partner for future hotel opportunities!

STRONGER TOGETHER – TUI HOTELS & RESORTS AS PART OF A FULLY INTEGRATED TOURISM GROUP

TUI GROUP – Who we are
TUI GROUP is the world's number one tourism business. In 2013/14 fiscal year, the TUI GROUP had 77,000 employees, recorded turnover of € 18.7 billion and an operating profit of € 869 million. United under one roof we operate a unique hotel portfolio, our cruise lines, six European airlines as well as tour operators, both online and through our broad travel retail network across Europe. This integrated approach enables us to provide our 30 million customers with an unmatched holiday experience at 180 destinations. We will therefore be able to shape market entry into new destinations ourselves, thus setting travel trends for the future.

STRATEGY – Where we are heading
The oneTUI strategy programme will help us strengthen TUI's position as the world's leading tourism group. We are in an excellent position, ready for growth: Having established a healthy financial footing for the Group, we are now launching the next phase of our oneTUI strategy programme.

In the next few years we plan to expand our portfolio by more than 60 exclusive new hotel projects that are to be developed and operated in prime locations as well as four new cruise ships. Through these strategic investments, TUI will shape the future world of travel and tomorrow's travel trends. This content-focused growth strategy will still be governed by the underlying principles of oneTUI: cash flow orientation and rigorous cost discipline.

TUI Hotels & Resorts – Where we want to grow
TUI Hotels & Resorts' leading leisure brand portfolio includes over 350 hotels with more than 245,000 beds in 28 destinations. The facilities run by our brands are located in top-class settings mainly in leisure holiday destinations – offering a variety of hotel formats with high standards of business performance, service quality and environmental management. The Group's hotel portfolio includes such well-known brands as RIU and the premium-market ROBINSON Clubs.

Being part of a fully integrated tourism group provides TUI Hotels & Resorts with access to a broad customer platform served by strong tour operators, 1,800 travel agencies and leading online portals, six airlines with more than 130 aircrafts and countless destination management companies in all major holiday destinations around the globe.

There is no other tourism group in the world that owns a hotel and cruise portfolio of this scope and is capable of designing an end-to-end travel experience for customers based on its own aircraft fleet.

Because we are stronger together, this unique network of business divisions along the entire tourism value chain allows TUI Hotels & Resorts and its hotel partners to achieve above average occupancy levels, room rates and significantly better customer satisfaction.
