TUI raises profit guidance on record hotel, cruise demand
Shares in the German company, which warned in May that 2025 could be a challenging year, were up 1.6% around 1445 GMT after it flagged a "record" performance at its Hotels & Resorts and Cruises businesses in the nine months to June 30.
TUI, Europe's largest tour operator, is due to report preliminary third-quarter results on Wednesday. In Tuesday's announcement, it said operating profit for the nine months to June 30 was 199 million euros ($232 million) at constant currencies.
The summer travel season is crucial for airlines and tourist businesses, with many operators making up for losses earlier in the year in the peak holiday months.
In May, TUI had flagged a dip in summer bookings, hitting its shares, and CEO Sebastian Ebel had warned of a potentially challenging year given Germany's ongoing economic struggles.
TUI now expects underlying earnings before interest and tax for the year ending September 30 to rise by between 9% and 11% year-on-year, up from a previous range of 7%-10%, though revenue growth is seen at the lower end of a forecast range of 5-10%.
TUI has sought to diversify its income, expanding in Asia and central Europe, in an effort to bring in new streams of revenue.

A BRITISH holidaymaker found out she was pregnant only when she gave birth on her hotel's toilet. Helen Green, 45, rushed to the bathroom when she woke in pain in the night. 3 3 She felt an urge to push and looked down to see her baby. Husband Mike, also 45, went to investigate and found his wife, who had periods throughout her pregnancy, cuddling 8lb 3oz Olivia. But the financial services workers, in Canada with their daughter Darcy, six, could not fly home for weeks until they got Olivia's birth certificate and passport. The episode cost them an extra £9,000. The family say most of their costs will hopefully be covered by their travel insurance. Helen, from Bristol, said: 'This was such a huge huge shock, and also such a lovely surprise. 'She just came along and it feels like she's always been with us. 'Everything feels complete now, she has made us all so happy. 'Even the doctors at the hospital were really surprised. 'I had no idea at all that I was pregnant, everything seemed completely normal. 'I worked, exercised, wore the same clothes and ate the same food as usual.' 3 I became a teen mum after having a cryptic pregnancy at 16 - I kept her a secret for a whole month after she was born
