Britain's biggest holiday firm TUI Travel has outperformed its rival Thomas Cook but warned winter bookings in the UK had slowed down in the face of weak consumer sentiment.

The Thomson Holidays and First Choice owner reported a 12% year-on-year drop in winter 2011/12 bookings as at November 27, compared to an 11% decline at its last update on September 11, as capacity - hit by turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia - was reduced 9%.
