With many holiday and caravan parks closed as we work together to manage the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have found ourselves with some unexpected time on our hands. But these hours need not be wasted.
Now is the perfect opportunity to plan ahead and develop your offering, ready for when your park can safely reopen – and EliteCRM is the perfect tool to help you do so. Researchers are already predicting a boom in domestic tourism, as many will look to enjoy some time away closer to home.
Turning the usual holiday calendar of on- and off-peak on its head, many are treating the current period as their low season, with the view that autumn and winter will replace what is traditionally high season in a bid to recover the loss of income.
