Tourism Holdings Australia
Tourism Holdings Australia has been selected as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards 2022. The Australian Business Award for Employer of Choice [EOC] recognises organisations that develop workplaces that maximise the full potential of their workforce through established policies and practices which demonstrate effective employee recruitment, engagement and retention.
Tourism Holdings Australia Pty Ltd is part of (thl), a global tourism operator and the largest provider of motorhomes for rent globally. In Australia, thl has operated since 1993 and now spans 10 Australian locations with a motorhome fleet of more than 1200 vehicles and a crew of approximately 140.
At thl we offer an RV eco-system in which we “build, rent, & sell motorhomes and campervans”. From a “build” perspective, campervans are manufactured in our Melbourne factory and distributed to the rest of the country. Our campers are rented and promoted under brands of Maui, Britz and Mighty and sold to private owners through our retail division under the KEA brand.
Technology connects the ecosystem together which is directed and driven by thl digital. This division helps deliver fleet solutions, guided journeys, connected on-road care experiences and in-vehicle technologies and apps that enhance the customer experience.
Underpinning all activity is our crew. Together, some twelve years ago, we crafted our core values that still hold true today. They are to: ‘be the best’, ‘be curious’ and to ‘do the right thing’.
thl’s values align with our comprehensive wellbeing programme and extensive professional development, ensuring an exceptional experience for our crew and customers.
thl is committed to becoming an environmentally restorative, economically inclusive and socially just business.
Kate Meldrum, COO of thl Australia explains, “Our framework informs very part of how we operate our business, from our ways of working to funds management, crew development and wellbeing, community engagement, emissions reduction programmes and procurement decisions. It’s a deep and long journey but one to which the company and all crew are committed. As part of this journey, we are excited to have launched our first Reconciliation Action Plan through Reconciliation Australia”
“Being granted the award again this year has never been more important as it is in this tight labour market. The process of applying for the award allows us to reflect on what we offer our crew and allows us to showcase all the great reasons why someone would want to join the thl team.”
