Following its acquisition of Hapag-Lloyd together with its 30% shareholding in Touristik Union International (‘TUI’) in 1998, Preussag decided to reinvent itself as a tourism, shipping, and logistics company. Its logistics activities, concentrated in the shipping sector, were kept separate and bundled within Hapag-Lloyd AG. A majority stake in Hapag-Lloyd was sold to the Albert Ballin consortium of investors in March 2009 and a further stake was sold to Ballin in February 2012, as TUI worked to exit from the shipping business and to optimize its tourism business with expansion in Russia, China and India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TUI AG set to agree Hapag-Lloyd deal this week )〕 TUI announced a merger of its travel division with the British tour operatorFirst Choice in March 2007, which was approved by the European Commission on 4 June 2007, on the condition that the merged company sell Budget Travel in Ireland. TUI held a 55% stake in the new company, TUI Travel PLC, which began operations in September 2007. In June 2014 the company announced it would fully merge with TUI Travel to create a united group with a value of $9.7 billion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tui Travel agrees to merger with German majority stakeholder )〕 The merger was completed on 17 December 2014 and the combined business began trading on the Frankfurt and London stock exchanges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TUI Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
