    “As a responsible, publicly listed company Tui seeks to avoid the possibility of any adverse effect from the currency or macroeconomic situation and plans accordingly,” a Tui spokesperson told the Financial Times, adding that the letter had been sent by the travel group’s Nordic unit.

    Andreas Andreadis, president of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises, told the newspaper that Greek hoteliers who received the letter would not sign the new contracts and that Tui should not put pressure on them to do so.
