TUI revealed holiday sales in the UK for the past six weeks were up eight per cent on last year, with 61 per cent of its UK programme now booked.
The group added that medium and long haul trips from the UK performed strongly, with sales up 21 per cent and eight per cent n the six week period. Greece, Turkey, Egypt, the US, Dominican Republic and Mexico have been the most popular destinations.
Chief executive Peter Long said there was no evidence of deteriorating consumer sentiment in its booking patterns, or in the average holiday duration booked, average selling price or cancellation rates.
"This confirms that the annual holiday is an important component of the family budget," he said.
