HANOVER – TUI Group today opens its newly designed global corporate headquarters, the TUI Campus in Hanover. 2,800 employees from eight TUI companies, including TUI AG, TUI Deutschland and the Robinson club brand, will work there together under one roof and shape the future of tourism. Employees together with the Supervisory Board, TUI’s Executive Board and guests from business and politics attend the official opening. Guests of honour include the Minister President of Lower Saxony, Stephan Weil, and the Minister of Tourism and Transport of Cape Verde, Carlos Jorge Duarte Santos. CEO Sebastian Ebel also welcomes his predecessors in office Fritz Joussen, Dr Michael Frenzel, Dr Ralf Corsten as well as former board members. The official part is followed by a celebration for employees, to which more than 1,500 employees are expected.
TUI Germany’s former head office has been rebuilt over the past two years to serve as the global corporate headquarters. Instead of small offices and narrow corridors, the TUI Campus is characterised by open working environments. Offices have been redesigned and converted. In 13 shared areas – the “CoAreas” – 250 workplaces were added. The “Co” stands for Cooperation, Collaboration and Communication. Here, employees can come together spontaneously to work on projects or exchange ideas. In addition, 80 meeting rooms are available – and 1,500 regular desks.
“The TUI Campus reflects what defines our working culture: flexibility and openness. At TUI we are proud of our flexible working models and hybrid forms of work. They work best in combination with modern offices, as we have now implemented at the TUI Campus. Working from home or around the world and working in the office are the two sides of the same coin. The TUI Campus brings the TUI brand to life. Not only for our employees, but also for guests from all over the world. They are the ones who make the TUI Campus a place of communication and dialogue,” says Sebastian Ebel, CEO of the TUI Group.
On the occasion of the opening, Stephan Weil, Minister President of the State of Lower Saxony, said: “I am very pleased about this renewed and impressive commitment by TUI to Hanover and the state of Lower Saxony. With its future-oriented concept, the new global corporate headquarters not only adapts to the changed ways of working, but also makes a contribution to climate protection with its sustainable features. I would especially like to congratulate the employees on the TUI Campus and hope that they all continue to feel at home in the new working environment and, of course, here in Lower Saxony.”
Particular focus during the conversion to the TUI Campus was placed on the
