TUI UK and Ireland Launches Summer 2027 with Free Kids’ Places - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

TUI UK & Ireland has officially launched its Summer 2027 programme, unveiling an expanded portfolio of destinations, family-focused deals, and new long-haul opportunities — including free kids’ places to Mexico and the Dominican Republic for the first time ever.

A Record-Breaking Summer Launch

Holidaymakers will have access to over 2,200 beach hotels across 70 destinations, featuring much-loved TUI concepts such as TUI BLUE, TUI Magic Life, TUI Suneo, and Holiday Village resorts. The programme also features exclusive destinations available only with TUI, including Thassos, Egypt, Cape Verde, Calabria, and Tunisia — all accessible via TUI Airways and partner-operated flights from 23 UK regional airports.

Free Kids’ Places Expanded

Families can now take advantage of TUI’s signature free kids’ places in an expanded range of destinations. For the first time, this includes Mexico and the Dominican Republic, with more than 30 hotels offering the promotion. Thousands of additional free child places remain available across favourites like Florida, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt, including during school holidays.

TUI continues to lead in family-friendly holidays, with Holiday Village resorts now available in nine destinations, offering professional childcare, entertainment, and a wide range of activities designed for all ages.

New Tours and Multi-Destination Options

Travellers seeking exploration can choose from an extensive collection of TUI Tours, including the new 13-night “Charming China & Vibrant Hong Kong” itinerary, which takes guests from Hangzhou’s historic bridges to the modern skyline of Shanghai.

Additional tours will run both closer to home — in Italy, Croatia, and Morocco — and in far-flung destinations such as Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Jordan, and Japan.

Multi-destination holidays are also expanding, with new split-stay options like Hurghada and El Gouna in Egypt, and Cala’n Bosch and Santo Tomás in Menorca added to the 2027 line-up.

City Breaks and Destination Weddings

TUI’s 2027 City Breaks programme features iconic destinations such as New York, Oman, and the UAE, offering fully packaged, flight-inclusive stays with trusted partner airlines.

For couples, more than 200 wedding venues and 1,000 tailored packages across 16 destinations will be available, including bestsellers Greece and Cyprus, and newer favourites Thailand, the Maldives, and Mauritius.

Making Dream Holidays More Accessible

Chris Logan, Commercial Director of TUI UK & Ireland, said:

“We’re thrilled to be the first major tour operator to extend our free kids’ places to Mexico and the Dominican Republic, meeting the growing demand for long-haul family adventures. With thousands of free child places across Summer 2027, we’re making bucket-list holidays more accessible than ever.”

He added:

“Booking early comes with big advantages — from a wider choice of hotels and destinations to preferred travel dates and flexible payment options. Combined with flights from 23 UK regional airports and the exceptional service of our UK-accredited TUI teams, we’re giving our customers more freedom and value than ever before.”

Expanding Horizons for 2027

With an ever-growing network of destinations and flight options — both with TUI Airways and trusted airline partners — the Summer 2027 launch underlines TUI’s commitment to offering unrivalled choice and service. Whether it’s a family beach break, a cultural tour, or a romantic getaway, TUI continues to deliver holidays that suit every traveller’s dream.
