Annual General Meeting

Our TUI Nederland office in Enschede has been specially designed to minimise its impact on the environment and is leading the way as one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the Netherlands. Designed and constructed with energy saving and energy efficiency in mind, the new building uses green electricity which produces no CO2. It also has cold and heat storage, solar panels, intelligent lighting and rainwater collection for water conservation. The building is expected to be rated ‘Excellent’ by BREEAM.

Quark Expeditions will be setting sail on the first ever carbon neutral voyage in November 2012 offsetting the emissions at no cost to the customer showing it’s possible to visit incredible places and preserve them for future generations. To neutralise the environmental effects of the Ocean Diamond voyages, an estimated 5,682 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents will be offset with select hydro, wind power and reforestation CarbonNeutral® projects in Turkey, Kenya, India and China. The voyage will sail on the Falkands, South Georgia and Antarctica tours.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner flew into Manchester airport this week as part of its global ‘Dream Tour’ preview. It was welcomed by Thomson Airways, the first UK customer to take delivery of this exciting new generation of aircraft in 2013. 13 Dreamliners will join the TUI Travel fleet across Thomson Airways, TUIfly Nordic, Arkefly and Jetairfly. Our brand new livery was also revealed, with its distinctive, dynamic wave design which will be seen alongside the iconic ‘TUI Smile.’ Click here for more information, images and a video of the Dreamliner in our new livery.
