‘Complimenting’ its existing Maui motorhome product, Tourism Holdings Limited (thl) has announced the acquisition of KEA Rentals and Sales Motohome in Australia from KEA New Zealand.

Although announcing previous agents for KEA Australia have ceased trading and its directors have appointed a Liquidator for the business, thl said the transfer should have “minimal disruption” on existing and future customers.

The company’s chief executive Grant Webster explained thl’s “immediate focus” was on ensuring Australian customers continue to enjoy their planned or current holidays despite the trade in owners.

“The KEA Australia leadership team have been very supportive in ensuring their customers are well catered for into the future given their difficult situation,” he said. 

“We are pleased we have the financial strength, infrastructure and people in place to be able to assist.

“We have the full intention of honouring the terms, conditions and pricing offered by KEA Australia in the market place today and will deal with any issues with customers on the road with care and respect.”

Further enhancements to the Australian business are expected to be announced over the coming week at the Australian Tourism Exchange, being held in Perth.
