To drive positive impact in our destinations, we launched the TUI Care Foundation which has been responsible for creating various local and international programmes, working in collaboration with our destination partners as well as local and internationals NGOs since 2016. Today, the foundation is running 25 projects in 20 countries. Our many programmes include more recently, the launch of a Corona relief programme to help overcome the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in holiday destinations by setting up an extensive relief initiative to support more than 200 local organisation around the world. In addition, the Economic Development Programme supports innovative and socially minded tourism entrepreneurs in travel destinations. The programme drives social innovation, creates local employment opportunities and contributes to local added value in holiday destinations, using tourism as a motor for positive change.
Our goal is to play a pioneering role in sustainability. We want to use tourism's creative power to maximise the benefits of tourism. And at the same time, we will innovate to minimise the ecological footprint of travel as well as encourage our customers to choose more sustainable travel options, and to take action to reduce their negative impacts and maximise their positive impacts in destinations. Together, with all our external and internal stakeholders and partners, we will drive a more sustainable future for the tourism industry.
To this end, with the UN Sustainable Development Goals at its core, we look forward to launching the TUI Group Sustainability Agenda 2050 this coming Autumn and sharing our sustainability strategic initiatives and expected key milestones.
Report on changes in expected development
It remains difficult to forecast the further course of the pandemic and its impact on customer behavior. In view of these considerable uncertainties, the Executive Board continues to believe that it is not in a position to issue a specific forecast for the financial year 2021.
As part of our reporting on H1 2021 the expectations for the financial year 2021 made in the Annual Report 2020 have been adjusted in the following points. -- Due to the travel restrictions in the first half of the year and the current expectations for the summer season
2021, we now expect TUI Group revenue (IFRS 16) in financial year 2021 to be down year-on-year at constant currency
rates. -- Based on expected gross capital expenditure, divestments and recoveries from advance payments made for aircraft
orders, we expect cash inflow from net investments in property, plant and equipment and financial investments to be
at least at the prior-year level in financial year 2021.
In addition, we are adjusting our statement made in the Annual Report 2020 for the adjustments expected in the financial year 2021 as follows: -- As a result of the sale of the 49% stake in RIU Hotels S.A. agreed in Q3 2021 and the expected positive disposal
result, we have also amended our estimate of the adjustments and now expect net benefits to be adjusted for the
financial year 2021. -- See also TUI Group Annual Report 2020 page 50
