TUI Marketer: Serve the Moment, Not the Plan
Bart Quinton Smith, Marketing & Sales Director for TUI in the UK & Ireland, outlines how the travel group is balancing emotional brand work with reassurance and value in a tougher travel market. He describes bringing performance marketing in-house on a new tech stack, pausing a planned campaign to launch a value-led 'TUI gives you more' campaign, and plans to launch a UK loyalty scheme (previously rolled out in the Nordics). TUI is investing in personalization and AI to improve discovery and search outcomes, expanding routes (including direct flights to Zanzibar for winter 2027), new hotel concepts, and modernizing retail. Smith also describes past initiatives such as adding carbon-emissions data into the booking flow at First Choice and a white‑label partnership with flight‑free provider Byway.
