TUI DEUTSCHLAND GMBH

What TUI DEUTSCHLAND GMBH does

TUI Deutschland GmbH is the German market-facing entity of the TUI Group and the leading seller of package holidays (Pauschalreisen) in Germany, with more than 50 years of operating history. The company runs a transactional B2C business targeting German-speaking leisure travelers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland through an omnichannel stack: the TUI.com booking platform, the myTUI mobile application on iOS and Android, a national physical travel agency (Reisebüro) network, and a phone-based service center operating 08:00–23:00 daily. Its headquarters are in Hannover (Karl-Wiechert-Allee 23, 30625 Hannover) and it is registered as a private limited company (GmbH) wholly owned by TUI AG, the Frankfurt-listed tourism group.

The product surface spans package holidays, scheduled and charter flights (including via the captive TUI fly airline and partners such as Ryanair), hotel accommodations across proprietary brands (TUI BLUE, ROBINSON, TUI MAGIC LIFE, TUI KIDS CLUB, TUI SUNEO, TUI TIME TO SMILE) and partner collections (RIU, The Mora, AQI Hotels), as well as cruises, guided tours, vacation homes, camper rentals, rental cars, transfers, excursions, travel insurance, and a Bahn-und-Hotel rail package with Ameropa. The myTUI app extends the platform with digital booking documents, in-destination chat, and exclusive coupons; the TUI Flex Tarif and Bestpreisgarantie (best-price guarantee) are layered add-ons designed to reduce booking friction. Underlying technology is a web-based booking platform integrated with airline, hotel, and customer-management systems, with third-party integrations to metasearch engines (Kayak, Skyscanner, Tripadvisor, Trivago) for distribution and attribution.

The company generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis across each of these product streams — primarily package holidays, flight bookings, hotel accommodations, and ancillary services — priced per booking with dynamic, season- and destination-driven pricing, flash sales, last-minute discounts up to 50%, early-buyer discounts, and optional Flex Tarif fees. Customer acquisition is multi-channel: TUI.com content marketing, social media (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok), paid search and display, email newsletter, the Reisebüro field network, and a loyalty loop via the TUI CARD (Classic, Gold, Titan). Operational execution is supported by a set of TUI Group subsidiaries — TUI InfoTec GmbH (shared IT services), TUI Musement (excursions), TUI Customer Operations GmbH, TUI Business Services GmbH, TUIfly Vermarktungs GmbH (airline marketing), and TUI Global Business Services Tunesia SARL (BPO). Leadership comprises CEO Benjamin Jacobi, executive management member Dr. Susanne Gauglitz, and Supervisory Board Chairman Mathias Kiep, with Isabelle Droll serving as CIO TUI Aviation.
