STATISTICS

The camping and caravanning business is an activity that attracts AMBIGUnumerous investors specializing in restructuring/(reconversion industrielle) OU investors interested in redeployment (recyclage) investisseurs en reconversion due to the range of ‘seasonal’ and community activities that are associated with it.  
The dynamism of this sector of the tourist and leisure industry, which has seen considerable changes over the last few years, is attracting people from all career backgrounds, looking to bring new ingredients to their family and social life. It’s difficult to get a clear picture of the camp site market, such is the diversity of properties for sale, the tourist markets they cater to and the sums of money involved, the camp site often coming with commercial property, facilities, accommodation and AMBIGU land (le terrain) OU a property tax rating?? Impôt foncier! Sellers  realise a capital at the end of several years in a business where it’s not the hours worked or the investment made that matter so much as the pleasure gained from a project that’s both community and property centred, as well as an attractive sales proposition for its potential for development! An estate agent who is specialised in this kind of transaction and not a trade intermediary/business getter like many who have emerged in this market recently, will be best placed to help you understand the ins and outs of this career, advise you in your personal project, assist you in the commercial, legal and financial fields, the last element being the key stone of your ownership. He will be able to gain you time and ease the acquisition of the camping ground that will change your life radically! We’re on the ground, in contact with the professionals and investors, we know their problems and their plans, we act as the link and many people see us as an essential partner.
Take advantage of our experience and put it to the test! Find the right partner and you’ve already dealt yourself a winning hand for your family’s future and its well being…
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or comments you may have. We’re looking forward to seeing you soon!
