History
Holidays Uncovered was set up back in 1999 by an internet entreprenneur who spotted a gap in the market. Holidays Uncovered was sold to TUI Travel in August 2007 for an undiclosed sum. TUI relaunched the website in April 2008 with a cleaner appearance and a better site strcuture. There has been no obvious commercial favouritism to TUI internal brands since the purchase.
