23 October 2025: Recent research carried out by TUI has revealed that the UK is a nation of food lovers, as 39% of Brits said they prioritise eating out in local restaurants at home and with 41% inclined to book a foodie focused holiday*.

To meet the needs of those searching for a gourmet trip abroad, TUI has launched a new food and gastronomy collection called ‘Dine & Discover’. The new label features 20 premium hotels across nine destinations celebrated for their culinary expertise, such as Greece, Spain and Mexico. Each hotel is renowned for their exceptional food and beverage options and will help signpost foodie-loving travellers to quality accommodation.

Each hotel will also offer customers its own bespoke food and beverage feature, such as a complimentary cookery lesson or a cocktail mixology class. What’s more, customers will receive a 15% discount on a local food and gastronomy experience provided by TUI’s experiences arm, TUI Musement. Customers can choose from hotels such as Ikos Porto Petro, Mallorca; Secrets Akumal, Mexico and Sani Club, Greece plus many more, with the in-hotel experience automatically applied to summer 2026 holidays departing after 1 May**.

Chris Logan, TUI UK&I’s Commercial Director said: “We’re proud to be launching our Dine & Discover collection which has been curated with our customers’ needs in mind. Sampling local cuisine is one of the most immersive ways to experience a destination’s culture and with a growing trend in taste tourism, this new label has all the ingredients for customers to enjoy a premium culinary focused holiday.”
