Recent Developments
TUI’s workforce has been largely restricted to working from their homes since the start of the pandemic in March last year. The company then realised that its staff can manage their office-based roles remotely without losing efficiency. TUI now requires all employees to attend office only once a month to take part in collaborative events and face to face team meetings. TUI has also created a new role called Workspace director, to aid in their transition to a permanent and flexible working approach. However, experts have pointed out that the new regulation will not favour staff such as in-store retail employees, engineers, pilots and cabin crew. Around 3000 of its 10,000 strong workforces have been reportedly affected by this new policy.
Should You Buy TUI Shares?
Many analysts have described TUI’s share price value as kind of a “value trap”. This refers to an organization whose ability to generate profits have been permanently impaired. When it comes to TUI, the company must accept the severe restrictions for its bailouts. It is doubtful whether it can compete with its peers with restrictions in place. In addition, investors must also consider the fact that the global travel and tourism market may have changed permanently. Consumers may opt for holiday options close to home with the threat of travel restrictions looming over them.
The above are ample reasons for investors to avoid TUI for the time being. There is a slight chance that the European travel and tourism industry can recover if they take inspiration from that of the United States. There have also been cases where consumers are spending more on booking luxury packages with their lockdown savings. TUI can take advantage of both customer demand and more spending if these trends start to appear in Europe.
