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!

We have witnessed very healthy growth in the rental
sector between 2000 and 2002, as was already noticeable
from 1990 onwards, despite a reduction in the number
of sites and pitches.
The total of longer term stays
accounts for 21 % of capacity.
