Superbreak secures improved TUI distribution deal

Superbreak has become preferred supplier for UK airport and cruise port hotel stopovers for TUI UK as part of a new commercial deal.

The agreement covers TUIÃ¢â¬Ëœs agency network, covering both Thomson and First Choice, as well as other non-retail distribution channels.

Previously the short break operator only supplied airport hotels for First Choice.

The operator offers more than 160 hotels across 35 UK air and cruise ports, with the majority providing both hotel-only and hotel plus parking inclusive options.

Superbreak sales director Ian Mounser said: Ã¢â¬ÅâœAs well as helping TUI to grow their UK airport hotel sales, we are confident it will help them grow their core UK hotel short break sales also.

Ã¢â¬ÅâœIn addition, it reinforces our position as the leading supplier for UK airport hotel bookings from the retail travel high street.Ã¢â¬â¢Ã¢â¬~

TUI UK & Ireland distribution director Nick Longman said: Ã¢â¬ÅâœWe are very pleased to have further cemented our relationship with Superbreak through this new agreement. They have been a great partner for both Thomson and First Choice over the years and we are confident we can build on this past success.Ã¢â¬~
