欧洲最大旅游公司Tui集团公布的第三季度财报显示，税前利润同比下滑43%至1.53亿欧元[1]。伊朗战争对集团造成了重创，累计损失达6000万欧元[1]。其中，两艘邮轮Mein Schiff 4和5在伊朗冲突期间被困12周，产生4000万欧元的停运成本，涉及5000名乘客需要遣返[1]。同期，Tui的客户数量下降3%至不足1000万人[1]，市场和航空部门更是陷入亏损，第三季度亏损1700万欧元，而去年同期该部门尚有5000万欧元盈利[1]。
Tui首席执行官Sebastian Ebel表示，"旅行对人们的生活仍然高度相关，但旅行决策的时间已经转变"[1]。集团称，最近四周的需求已出现回升迹象[1]。
Europe's largest travel company Tui reported a significant decline in profitability for the third quarter, attributing the downturn to geopolitical tensions and economic pressures affecting consumer behavior.[1] Pre-tax profit for the April-to-June period fell 43% to €153 million from €267 million in the same period last year.[1] The number of customers served dropped 3% to just under 10 million during the quarter.[1]
The Iran conflict has proven particularly costly for Tui, with the company sustaining €60 million in losses stemming from the regional tensions.[1] Two cruise ships—Mein Schiff 4 and Mein Schiff 5—were stranded for twelve weeks due to the conflict, incurring €40 million in costs and necessitating the repatriation of 5,000 passengers.[1] The company's marketing and aviation division swung from a €50 million profit to a €17 million loss during the third quarter.[1]
Despite these headwinds, Tui's leadership expressed cautiously optimistic signals about demand recovery. Chief Executive Sebastian Ebel stated that "travel remains highly relevant to people's lives, but the timing of travel decisions has shifted."[1] The company noted that demand had begun to strengthen in recent weeks as the summer holiday season approached.[1]
