TUI.com Hotels Search Scraper: Extract Hotel Deals & Pricing Data

---

What Is TUI.com?

TUI.com is one of Europe's largest travel and tourism platforms, offering package holidays, hotel-only bookings, and curated travel deals across hundreds of destinations worldwide. Its hotel search pages aggregate rich pricing and availability data — but extracting this manually is impractical at scale. The TUI.com Hotels Search Scraper automates this process, turning search result pages into structured, analysis-ready datasets.

---

Overview

The TUI Hotels Search Scraper collects hotel listings from TUI.com search result pages, capturing pricing, availability windows, room configurations, and sourcing metadata per offer. It is built for:

• Travel analysts monitoring hotel pricing trends by destination
• OTA developers aggregating multi-platform hotel inventory
• Revenue managers benchmarking competitor rates
• Data scientists building travel demand models

The scraper handles paginated search results up to a configurable item cap, and can process multiple search URLs in a single run with fault-tolerant URL handling.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration:

{
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "urls": [
    "https://www.tui.com/hotel/suchen/hotels/Dubai/1101/list/?searchScope=HOTEL&travellers=2&startDate=2026-05-30&endDate=2026-06-30&duration=7&regionGiataIds=133&destinations=160|REGION"
  ]
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	array	One or more TUI.com hotel search result page URLs. Paste individually or use bulk edit. Each URL should reflect your desired destination, dates, traveller count, and duration — configured directly in the TUI search UI before copying.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of hotel offers to collect per URL. Default: 20. Set higher (e.g., 200) for broader market coverage.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues processing remaining URLs when one fails, rather than stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs.

Building Your Search URL

Construct the URL directly on TUI.com:

1. Go to tui.com → select destination, dates, travellers, and duration
2. Run the search and switch to List view
3. Copy the full URL from your browser — it encodes all search parameters

Example URL parameters decoded:

Parameter	Example Value	Meaning
travellers	2	Number of guests
startDate	2026-05-30	Check-in date
endDate	2026-06-30	Check-out date
duration	7	Trip length in nights
regionGiataIds	133	GIATA region ID for destination
destinations	160|REGION	TUI internal destination code

How to Use

1. Build your search URL on TUI.com with the desired destination, dates, and traveller count, then switch to list view and copy the URL.
2. Paste into urls — add multiple URLs for different destinations or date ranges in one run.
3. Set max_items_per_url — use 200 for comprehensive market snapshots; lower values for quick tests.
4. Enable ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs to prevent one bad URL from halting the job.
5. Export — download results as JSON or CSV for use in Excel, Google Sheets, or BI tools.

Tips:

• Run separate URLs per destination for cleaner dataset segmentation
• Use consistent duration values across URLs when comparing prices cross-destination
• If results seem incomplete, verify the source URL returns results in a browser first
