A New Chapter in Neuro-Inclusive Travel: SENNIES x TUI

At SENNIES, inclusivity isn’t just part of our mission—it’s at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our brand-new, three-year partnership with TUI to support and enhance their commitment to neuro-inclusive holidays for families with children who have special educational needs (SEN).

‍

Why This Partnership Matters

TUI is taking meaningful strides to make travel accessible to all. This summer, they launched their first-ever sensory rooms at two family-friendly resorts:

• TUI BLUE Nausicaa Beach (Cyprus)
• TUI BLUE Aura (Ibiza)
  
  

These specially designed spaces offer sensory-friendly environments—think soft lighting, calming zones, and interactive sensory tools—to help neurodivergent children relax and recharge while on holiday.

Alongside these rooms, TUI is rolling out:

• Neurodiversity awareness training for frontline staff
  
• “Now & Next” boards in kids’ clubs to help children understand what’s happening next through our partner https://www.createvisualaids.co.uk/
  
• Communication cards to assist non-verbal children in expressing their needs

How SENNIES Will Contribute

We're proud to bring our SEN expertise to the table—helping shape training, tools, and environments that genuinely support neurodivergent families. Through this collaboration, SENNIES will work closely with TUI to:

• Equip staff with specialist insight and guidance on SEN needs
  
• Support the development of sensory-friendly content and communication tools
  
• Provide ongoing consultancy to ensure these initiatives are inclusive by design, not by accident
  

This partnership goes beyond just amenities—it’s about creating truly empowering experiences for neurodiverse families.

What This Means for Families

Planning a holiday when your child has SEN can feel overwhelming. TUI’s new sensory rooms and tailored support tools, combined with our SENNIES approach to specialist childcare, mean a holiday can finally feel like what it’s meant to be—relaxing, joyful, and stress-free.
