Christchurch company Iconic Motorhomes is winding up after 15 years in the game. The prospect of reopened borders in 2022 has come too late for a high-end motorhome company in Christchurch that is joining a raft of Covid-19 tourism casualties. Iconic Motorhomes, owned by couple Kay and Michael Parker, has shut its doors and is selling off its 55 vehicles. Tourist Holdings, a New Zealand-based group that owns the Maui, Britz and Mighty motorhomes operations, reported a large shift from rentals to sales of motorhomes. Chief executive Grant Webster told the market in February that the New Zealand business was unlikely to make a profit while borders remained closed.
