The grouping of independent French campgrounds, gathered under the label Camping Qualité, offer a highly positive assessment of the summer season 2016 with +197% reservations and an increase in revenues by +301%.
These results were made possible by “the new strategy launched in 2016” according to a statement, especially via the website campingqualite.com that enabled to generate 5,500 reservations for €3,000,000 in revenues, versus 1,900 reservations and €723,000 in revenues in 2015, at the end of the summer.
The establishment of new measures aimed at helping campgrounds acquire or maintain the demanded quality level, along with a reinforced communication campaign on the new website, has led to a 40% rise in the website’s traffic.
“This new platform of information and camping offer provides “direct consumer” contact, no commission is given to member campgrounds or vacationers who reserve on the website.”
