A major, first-time-ever survey is being undertaken in the UK this year. Funded and organised by the Economic Impact Research Group (the BH&HPA, the Camping and Caravanning Club, the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the NCC) the research will establish the impact of the camping and caravanning sector on the UK economy.
The report, to be published at the end of the year, will be sent to a wide range of organisations in the public and private sectors. Given that the glamping sector is relatively new, it is very important that as many businesses as possible complete the online questionnaire so that sufficient data is gathered in order to build up an accurate picture.
The questionnaire can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/B5G9ZX6 It is live until end September and can be opened, data input, saved, closed and opened again, so no need to attempt it at one sitting. The questionnaire may appear complex because it has to serve different kinds of businesses, from small campsites to large holiday parks. The EIRG tell us that you need not answer questions which do not apply to you or where it is difficult to gather the information.
Please do take time to do this. Glamping Business will have access to the report – as will you – and it will add greatly to what we know about the sector.”
