The TUI InfoTec GmbH was formed in 1997 as an independent company in the field of information systems TUI. Together with the changes and acquisitions of the Hanoverian travel company, the IT service provider grew continuously with an increasingly international and industry-independent orientation.

Today TUI InfoTec is a 100% participation of TUI AG for the globally operating TUI GROUP, which includes over 700 companies - from travel agencies to tour operators and airlines to hotel companies - as well as for customers outside the TUI Group.

history

In 1997 TUI InfoTec emerged from the IT department of what was then TUI GmbH & Co. KG and is their internet service provider .

In 1998 TUI was integrated into Preussag Aktiengesellschaft.

In 2001, TUI InfoTec recognized the need to optimize costs as the possibility of an offshoring model and therefore sought contact with Indian software providers. After evaluations and pilot phases in projects, Sonata Software Ltd. selected as a strategic IT partner for joint software development. The first projects were initially carried out due to the lower language barrier in Great Britain. Technology projects were then started in Germany and processes for collaboration were developed.

In 2004 the IT department of the Hapag-Lloyd airline was incorporated as its internet service provider.

In 2006, TUI InfoTec was set up as a joint venture between Sonata and TUI. While the travel group TUI Travel PLC held 49.9 percent, Sonata Software Ltd., which is listed in India, acquired 50.1 percent of the company.

In 2011 TUI Travel PLC took over 100 percent of the shares in TUI InfoTec.

In 2014, through the merger of TUI AG and TUI Travel, the world's leading integrated tourism group TUI GROUP was created and 100% of the shares in TUI InfoTec were transferred to TUI AG.
