innovative growth areas include the online tourism platform LTE, through 
which TUI aims to tap new global customer groups and markets, including 
Spain, Portugal, Turkey or Brazil. The development of the Asian market, 
where the Group recently entered into a cooperation scheme with Chinese 
online provider Alibaba's travel platform, is to additionally promote 
dynamic strategic and operative developments. Frank Rosenberger is an 
industrial engineer. Prior to joining TUI in autumn 2015, he had held 
group-wide responsibility for the global development of new business areas 
at Vodafone Group Plc. 
 
The role of TUI Group Director Strategy will be taken over by Henrik Homann 
(54), Managing Director OneAviation in charge of the activities of the 
Group's five leisure airlines. In assuming the new Group function, Homann 
will also join the Group Executive Committee from 1 January 2017. Henrik
