TUI Group, one of the world’s leading tourism businesses, is now a Tours
& Activities partner for HolidayCheck Premium, the loyalty program of
HolidayCheck, one of Germany’s largest travel websites, which boasts over 10
million monthly visits, and 11 million reviews. The agreement continues TUI’s
strong and strategic growth in Tours & Activities, which includes
partnerships with high profile European, American and Asian travel businesses.
The partnership with HolidayCheck provides its premium members with direct
access to browse and reserve thousands of excursions, activities and attraction
tickets in over 1,000 destinations.
“HolidayCheck Premium is for real vacation lovers, and in-destination
experiences are an important element of a holiday. We want to continually enhance
our loyalty program and hence, we are happy to provide our members with
immediate access to the best experiences around the world - with exclusive
member-only discounts.” Said Steffen Ketterer, Business Lead HolidayCheck
Premium. “TUI was a logical choice for a partner – they have a great digital
platform, a highly curated portfolio of excursions, activities and attraction
tickets, and they share our focus on putting the customer first.”
TUI and HolidayCheck teams prioritised the user experience, collaborating
to develop a customised version of TUI’s Tours & Activities platform, which
has been seamlessly integrated with the HolidayCheck website. This gives
HolidayCheck Premium members direct access to TUI’s curated portfolio of
experiences, which are sourced direct in destinations around the world and
carefully audited in relation to quality, Health & Safety, and
sustainability. Excursions, activities and attraction tickets can now be
quickly added to a travel itinerary prior to a holiday during the trip planning
process, or booked instantly once in destination, all via the HolidayCheck
website.
“We have long been saying that as the best part of travel,
in-destination experiences are a driver of customer loyalty. This has been
recognised by HolidayCheck and we are proud to work with them in offering even
more benefits to their loyal customer base.” Said Nishank Gopalkrishnan, Chief
Business Officer of TUI Musement, the Tours & Activities division of TUI
Group. “This is another partnership with an industry leading business and once
again shows that TUI has become the B2B partner of choice for Tours &
Activities.”
A diverse range of experiences are on offer, from museum and theme park
tickets, to walking tours and water activities, and are available in over 100
countries, including the USA, Mexico, Spain, Greece, Thailand and Australia.
