[QUOTE="Dawb, post: 451003, member: 7832"] I've helped a company called glamping bussiness called [URL='http://www.jollydaysglamping.co.uk/']Jollydays [/URL]over a number of years and seen them grow into a thriving and profitable business. I was asked to help because I used to have a marquee company and know quite a bit about marquees and tents. From an outsiders point of view I would make the following observations. [LIST] [*]Quite a few people have jumped on to the band wagon in the last few years! [*]You need to make your camping experience "special" it's the added "x" factor that people are looking for. [*]People are going to expect a "Hotel" in a tent! [/LIST] Before you start you must consider how many "Hotel" facilities you are going to provide for example. [LIST] [*]Are the toilet and shower facilities going to be glamorous or grim? [*]Do you need to make a reception / shop / cafe / bar / lounge for your guests. [*]Are you going to have a member of staff available 24/7 to look after the guests needs / safety? [*]Are you going to provide bedding, towels etc Who is going to wash them? [*]Who is going to clean the tents after your guests have gone and make them ready for the next guests? [/LIST] The other reality check is just how long are your tents going to last? I would suggest that after a tent has been up for a season that they are no longer "glamorous"! Factor in the cost of replacing the tents every year which will make a large dent in your profits. However they have a resale value!
