History

Thomson Holidays was established in 1965 and quickly became a leading name in British package holidays. Known for its emphasis on convenience, reliability, and affordability, Thomson helped shape the modern holiday experience, offering everything from beach getaways to city breaks.

In 2000, Thomson became part of TUI Group, a global tourism conglomerate based in Germany. The merger allowed Thomson to expand its reach and offerings, incorporating TUI’s extensive resources and expertise. By 2017, the Thomson brand was officially rebranded as TUI in the UK, aligning with the group’s global identity.

TUI has continued to innovate, introducing concepts such as TUI Blue hotels, eco-friendly travel options, and immersive local experiences. Today, TUI is a market leader, known for delivering unforgettable holidays with a focus on sustainability and customer care.
