Love is in the air ??

A special highlight from us on #ValentinesDay ?? – Meet Janine and Moritz Horejschi, Maren and Ralph Brieler, Audrey and Jürgen Vocht and Silja and Henning de Riese who are part of more than 1,600 TUI fly colleagues in Germany. These four couples not only share a passion for flying, but also have a private bond. We asked them how and where they met and what it's like to live and work together –?you'll find the answers here (in German).

These are just a few examples of how love can strike whether you're exploring a new city, trekking through mountains, or simply enjoying a sunset on a foreign shore. After all, the next great love story might just begin with a passport stamp. ?

TUI tram in Zurich ??

"Die gaaaanz W?lt für Züri" or "The whole world for Zurich"???? ??

This is the motto of the rolling brand ambassador that our TUI team in Switzerland sent out onto the streets of #Zurich.

Since a couple of days one tram of the Zurich public transport company is covered with the bright red TUI Smile. ??

Passengers are invited to immerse themselves in a wide variety of travel worlds, from road trips to cultural and family vacations around the globe, and be inspired. The whole experience is accompanied by colorful, expressive images and slogans in Swiss German. Inside the tram, atmospheric images are complemented by practical information about #travel. ?? Passengers can use information boards and QR codes to call up specific information on topics such as #flexibility when traveling, finding the nearest TUI retail store or sustainability projects of the TUI Care Foundation, or take part in an attractive competition. The tram in the TUI design will run on various public tram lines in Zurich until at least summer 2024. ??
