WHY NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO GET INTO TOURISM…

VISITOR NUMBERS

All main European indicators suggest that nature tourism has increased year-on-year for several years, with average length of stay also increasing. This trend is likely to continue in the future, both during and after Covid19. 

SUSTAINABILITY

In 2019, 71% of travelers told Booking.com that they believe companies should offer more sustainable travel choices. Sustainable experiences with minimal impact attracted the greatest increase in interest from consumers from 2019 to 2020 (+ 8.7%). 

NATURE

Access to natural land is a great advantage in the current self-catering market. 60% of customers booking a holiday voted for “outdoor space” as their most desired additional extra when securing a holiday property.

HOW OUR LANDOWNER PARTNERSHIP MODEL WORKS 

We work with all kinds of landowners in all areas of Europe including public authorities, nature conservation organisations, community landowners, forest owners and innovative private individuals.  If you are interested to join our network, we will explore the following with you:  

  •  Ensuring that your location represents an inspiring natural setting and is going to be attractive for our guests and therefore successful for you. We’ll work with you to assess customer profiles, year-round visitor patterns and occupancy forecasts. 
  • Considering whether we can site accommodations in a sensitive and low-impact way on your land. Our locations are selected for views and privacy and our building designs enable maximum light. Our buildings have no permanent foundations and ensure minimal impact on the ground.
  • Researching the outdoor activities, speciality food products, local guides and other features of your local area in order to design tailored, imaginative activities for guests. 
  • Assessing the potential for your preferred location(s) to harness renewable energy. Wherever it is suitable to do so, we prefer to use 100% renewable energy solutions, meaning our units are autonomous and have minimal impact. 
  •  Explaining our operating standards, which ensure that we only work with landowner partners who are committed to, and can demonstrate their ability to uphold, the highest standards of visitor care and nature tourism best practice. 
  •  Discussing the funding requirements for your business and explaining how we can help through our tailored financing support for landowner partners.
