Thomson Holidays is a leading United Kingdom tour operator. Thomson was founded in 1965 with a combination between Britannia Airways and three different packaging holiday companies. This company has grown to be the market leader of the package holiday market with not even ten years to do it in. Thomson Holidays is currently operating with about 30% of the market share in the package holiday market of the United Kingdom, which only gives the company more weight to the strong reputation and brand that they represent already.

The Lunn Poly chain of travel agents in the United Kingdom was bought by Thomson Holidays in the early years of the 1970s. This established a bold high street presence for them too. The Lunn Poly chain eventually was re-branded to be put under the banner of Thomson Holidays in the year 2004.

Thomson Holidays, since 2000, has been a part of the TUI AG Group and has won an acclaim, which was from an independent source group, for the time and all around service that it has served. The TUI AG Group is who founded a new name for Britannia Airways when they introduced Thomsonfly in the year 2004.

Thomson Holidays has now expanded so much that they are now providing travelers with a great number of holidays and holiday destinations for places all over the world. This company is offering long-haul holidays to the Far East, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, Canada, America, and so many more, along with the Turkey, Greece, and Spain holidays on the beach, which are very traditional choices.
