Opinion | 89 industry partners – dealers, service centres, as well as parts and accessories suppliers?

There are a lot of them and there is a lot of money churning in their industry that might well be under threat.

So I think the industry, along with the clubs, needs to get stuck in and start to lobby or, better still, partner-up with others to start creating opportunities for new caravan sites. If they’re to be economical sites they may not be prime coastal spots, but they might be able to play a role in keeping the supply of sites at a reasonably stable price.

In doing so, the industry that depends on us would be helping preserve our holiday lifestyle but also they’d be protecting their own futures.

It’s not surprising such prime realestate attracts developers. Our cashed-up society has a seemingly insatiable appetite for seaside living that shows no sign of abating.
