TUI accelerates global expansion with strategic entry into Latin American market

2 min read

TUI Group is accelerating its international expansion with entry to the Latin American (LATAM) market as a new sales region. This strategic move capitalises on TUI’s technology and the expertise of its Spain & Portugal team, positioning the company for substantial growth across the region.

TUI has been collaborating closely with travel agency partners in multiple countries, including Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay, and Colombia, to offer vacation experiences tailored to customers from the LATAM market. By launching a dedicated digital platform, customers, travel agencies and partners will be able to book tours and holidays, including experiences, directly on a localised TUI website as well as through additional partners in the different LATAM markets.

"TUI is a global business with a global footprint – but today we primarily sell to European customers. Now, we expand our offering to customers in Latin America as a sales region as well," said Sebastian Ebel, CEO of TUI Group. "We have the expertise, the diverse product offerings, and the technological infrastructure to deliver exceptional vacations for anyone, anywhere in the world. Latin America represents a significant growth opportunity for us, and through our digital platforms, we are poised to meet the region’s rising demand, and scale quickly. TUI is ready to make a major impact in Latin America."

TUI Spain & Portugal, experts in outbound travel from Spain and Portugal for TUI Group, has forged strong relationships with key travel agencies across Latin America, developing products for customers from the region, and seeing promising growth in recent years. To support this momentum and cater to the increasing demand, TUI has launched a dedicated platform specifically designed for LATAM travel agents and their customers from the region, loaded with a range of pre-defined packages, as well as the option to dynamically produce vacation itineraries. This platform is now live and already contributing to sales growth, marking a significant milestone in TUI's global strategy.
