Carlson plans Podróże TV's voyage to bourse and travel-sector takeovers

"Share capital of the company stands at zł.17 million and it will soon increase by zł.3 million, which should allow executing our strategy," said Ireneusz Pawłowski, deputy president of Podróże TV. The company, which will soon take over the television broadcaster of the same name, hopes that by merging television with being a tour-operator, it will also manage to become an air carrier. "Initially we will take over shares in PES Travel, which owns a tour-operator license in Poland. At the same time we prepare for purchasing PTV Limited, which holds a license for television broadcasting," said Pawłowski. Following these operations, Podróże TV will enter the bourse in roughly 18-24 months once its turnover stands at zł.100 million. According to the plans, the acquired enterprises will have a total of zł.200-300 million in turnover. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) M.M.
