TUI opens new-look store inside fashion retailer
TUI has opened a ‘state of the art’ holiday store inside a Next store, its first agency concession.
Until now, only Virgin Holidays has partnered with Next and announced plans last year for 20 concessions across the UK.
The TUI holiday store in The Moor, Sheffield development is a relocation from Sheffield Pinstone Street.
The new store has a ‘fresh, modern look’ with booth-style seating so customers can see their holiday plans on the big screen.
There is also a Travel Money desk and Welcome Bar where advisors greet guests as they walk into the store.
Last month saw the launch of the new TUI Airways Dreamliner flights from Doncaster Sheffield airport to Orlando Sanford in Florida.
TUI has also recently introduced Cancun to its programme for summer 2020 from Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
Stephen Bracegirdle, head of retail for TUI, said: "With the launch of this new store and a wide range of holidays, including the family favourite of Florida now available from Doncaster Sheffield Airport, this is a really exciting time for the region."
Chris Harcombe, Aviation Development Director at Doncaster Sheffield Airport said: "This new investment by TUI in a state of the art store is real testament to the demand to fly locally, with the airport now just 25 minutes from Sheffield City centre."
