Holiday company TUI said it would shut 48 retail stores across Britain, adding to the 166 it has already closed there during the pandemic.

“The travel industry and the British high street are both facing unprecedented pressure. We can therefore confirm that we are proposing to close 48 retail stores,” TUI said in a statement .

TUI said 273 staff would be impacted by the closures but new opportunities would be offered in its remaining 314 stores in the UK and Ireland, and in its new homeworking team which answer customer inquiries.

To get through COVID-19, TUI said last year it would cut 8,000 jobs and shed 30% of its costs.
