The British tour operator TUI announced today that it will close 166 agencies in Great Britain and Ireland, which is a third of the company's network.

That decision is part of the previously announced restructuring plan, which envisages the elimination of 8.000 jobs worldwide.

TUI, the largest British tour operator, states that it made such a decision due to the coronavirus pandemic, which led to reduced bookings.

The company, based in Hanover, Germany, said on May 13 that it was cutting 8.000 jobs out of a total of 70.000 in the TUI networks worldwide.

The closure of 166 agencies in Great Britain and Ireland will affect 900 employees, of whom 70 percent will continue to work from home.
