Europeans are booking fewer trips to the US,
Europe’s biggest travel operator has said,
as appetite for long-haul travel wanes and concerns linger around Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Tui, which receives most of its bookings from customers in Europe, has seen
“significantly lower demand” for travel into the US, according to its chief executive, Sebastian Ebel.

“What we do see is growing business to the Emirates and Asia,” he said.
“We also see European demand to the Caribbean, which – due to capacity – had not been the biggest priority in the past, but there we see now potential again to grow.”
