BULLITTIN SPONSORED BY What has been astonishing over the last six months is the announcements by TUI and Kuoni to separate or divest large elements of their businesses. No analysts expected TUI to explore a potential divestment of its specialist division while Kuoni s announcement to sell its B2C tour operator, Europe s fifth largest, is equally surprising.

Focus appears to be the buzzword for 2015: Kuoni will become a pure B2B player, while TUI will seek to grow its mainstream product.
