Thomson Holidays is a UK based travel operator and part of TUI AG. The company was founded as part of the Thomson Travel Group in 1965 following the acquisiton of various package holiday companies and the airline Britannia Airways by Roy Thomson.
In 1972 Thomson Travel Group acquired Lunn Poly, the largest chain of travel agents in the United Kingdom, which since 2004 has been rebranded as Thomson Holidays.
Thomson Travel Group was floated on the London Stock Exchange in May 1998 with a valuation of £1.7 billion. In 2000 TTG was acquired by Preussag AG, an industrial and transportation company. Preussag was renamed TUI in 2001 and Thomson Travel became TUI UK. Thomson Holidays and Britannia Airways (rebranded Thomsonfly) are now subsidiaries of that group.
