British backed travel operator Podróże TV on expansion path

Currently, it owns two tour operators, two television-related companies and an air carrier. Podróże TV is 100% owned by the British fund Carlson Private Equity and it is boosting its revenue plans. "In 2006, the tour operating part of the company should record a turnover of zł.130-140 million in Poland, with an additional zł.75-80 million abroad. Fisher Air should bring in about zł.280-300 million," said Ireneusz Pawłowski, deputy president of Podróże TV. The company is also promising to debut on the bourse soon. "A date of 12 months is very likely. Currently, the company is starting to undergo an audit, which will provide the basis for an issue prospectus," said the deputy president.
