BUSINESS TUI TRAVEL

THE BUSY BEACHES IN BENIDORM SPAIN IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 2009...The owner of First Choice and Thomson said it has fewer summer holidays left to sell than last year after a recent pick-up in bookings...TUI Travel said consumers continued to leave purchases nearer to the time of departure, but that demand for the main summer break was as strong as ever...It is less confident about the winter season given that such breaks are usually discretionary and will in many cases be a secondary holiday...Bookings for the winter are currently down 21%, although trading in the last four weeks has improved to show a 6% fall in bookings...TUI has removed 15% of capacity but retains flexibility to alter this should demand improve..
