TWO popular holiday destinations will have Free Child Places for the first time with TUI holidays.
From 2027, families will be ale to make the most of the free places when travelling to Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
TUI has more than 30 hotels across the two holiday regions, with 10 of them being included in the offer.
Which hotels will be included is yet to be confirmed.
However, both destinations are also about to be easier to get to.
From April 2026, TUI will launch a new fortnightly service from Cardiff to Cancun.
And from June 2026, new TUI flights will run from Belfast International Airport to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
There also thousands of Free Child Places across existing holiday destinations including Greece, Cyprus and Egypt, as well as Turkey.
And last year, Free Child Places were added to Florida holidays.
Chris Logan, Commercial Director of TUI UK&I said: “We’re thrilled to be the first major tour operator to extend our free kids’ places programme to Mexico and the Dominican Republic, responding directly to the growing demand we’ve seen for long-haul family adventures.

“With thousands of free kids’ places available across our Summer 2027 programme, we’re making bucket-list family holidays more accessible than ever before.
“For Summer 2027, we are excited to be offering our widest range of destinations with free kids’ places, the convenience of flying from 23 UK regional airports, and the exceptional service of our UK accredited TUI staff who run kids’ clubs across more than 120 hotels.”
Free Child Places are when a child can go free on a holiday, when staying with two-fully paying adults, at no extra cost.
Most accept children to be under the age of 16 to get the free place.
Generally, a free child place can only be claimed if there are two full-paying adults on a holiday booking. It means that when a pair of adults book a room, one child can stay for no extra cost.
The cut-off for a free child place is 16 years old with most holiday companies.
It includes the return flight, as well as accommodation, transfers and any food board.
Some of the current Free Child Place TUI deals on offer include a week in Majorca for £362pp,
Or you can head to a waterpark hotel in Morocco for just £438pp.
Here’s how to find one of the world’s best hotel – and you can book it with TUI.
