Tui Group partners with train, bus and ferry booking specialist

Tui Group has sealed a partnership with travel booking platform Omio, which offers the opportunity to book with more than 3,000 operators across rail, buses, flights and ferries.

The white-label collaboration gives Tui’s customers the ability to search for and book trains, buses and ferries as a post-booking ancillary “within the Tui ecosystem”.

It is available for customers using Tui’s app and website but not for agents.

Gunther Batsleer, Tui Group ancillaries director, said: “Integrating the Omio portfolio into our post-booking app environment is an important step in delivering on our strategy, giving customers access to a convenient range of services.

“It supports our ambition to offer a seamless end-to-end travel experience while continuing to unlock value across the Tui customer journey.”

Jean-Francois Bessiron, chief B2B officer at Omio, added: “Passengers today expect connected journeys from door to door, across every transport mode and market.

“Our technology provides the essential infrastructure for global leaders to scale these mobility offerings and build more resilient, diversified business models.”

Omio’s inventory and technology is already used by other global brands including Uber, Kayak, Google, LNER and easyGroup.
