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.
