The next ShareChat Investor Interview is with the MD of Tourism Holdings
Limited
(NZSE: THL), Denis Pickup.

Tourism Holdings was established in 1986 as The Helicopter Line but changed
its name ten years later to reflect its expansion into the wider tourism
industry. The company owns and operates a range of tourist businesses in New
Zealand and Australia.  Included in its stable are Maui Motorhome Rentals,
Britz Campervan Rentals, Kiwi Experience and Oz Experience coach tours,
Wanaka's Treble Cone skifield, Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, boat cruises,
helicopter and plane sightseeing services. Turnover for the year ended June
was $200.5 million,  9% ahead of last year, but net profit fell 12% in that
period to $13 million.  In the past year the stock has been punished for
failing to deliver on a number of profit forecasts and, more recently, has
been under pressure from the negative tourism outlook as a result of the
events of September 11.  The company's website is: www.thlnz.co.nz
