According to eu-startups.com, Kampoah culminated a successful 2023 marked by international expansion into new European markets, including France, Italy and Portugal, accounting for 6.5% of the company’s total turnover.
Founded by entrepreneur Salvador Lora in 2016, the Kampoah brand has experienced extraordinary growth, increasing its revenue from €45k to €23 million in just seven years, with an offer that encompasses 3,500 accommodations spread across 83 campsites.
“At Kampaoh, we are proud of our success because we understand that, for our customers, luxury is about sharing unforgettable experiences with our loved ones while respecting the environment. Our goal is to continue to innovate to meet the ever-increasing demands of our customers and ensure the best possible holiday without the hassle,” says Salvador Lora, president and founder of Kampaoh.
For their launch, Lora invested €5,000 in the purchase of the first tents and basic equipment thanks to the FFF (Family, Friends & Fools), allowing it to grow organically for 4 years.
The startup’s business model has opened up numerous possibilities for the tourism sector, offering travellers a quality service with more sustainable and environmentally friendly experiences.
Kampaoh carefully selects each of the campsites where they decide to implement their handmade tents – handmade in their workshops in Seville – and thus guarantee the best possible holidays for their customers.
In 2024, Kampaoh plans to add fully-managed campsites to its catalogue in Spain to take the “easy and beautiful” camping experience to another level.
In terms of revenue, Kampaoh forecasts a turnover of €40 million, which translates into an increase of 74% over the previous year. It also plans to expand its presence by 25% (from 80 to 100 campsites), reaching 5,000 shops in the 4 countries where it is present. Kampaoh also aims to strengthen its international presence in more exotic destinations such as the Philippines and the Dominican Republic.
