How do holiday parks increase occupancy during quiet periods?
Targeted promotions for shoulder-season dates, partnerships with activity and event providers (walking weekends, stargazing, wellbeing retreats), and digital advertising to staycation audiences in late booking mode all help. Loyalty programmes and email campaigns to past guests are the highest-converting and lowest-cost channels for off-peak bookings.
What is a good annual occupancy rate for a UK holiday park?
Annual occupancy targets vary enormously by park type and location. Touring pitches in popular coastal or rural locations may target 60-75% annual occupancy across a 30-35 week season. Luxury glamping units can achieve very high occupancy during peak season while operating a shorter season overall. RevPAR (revenue per available unit) is more meaningful than headline occupancy.
What software do UK holiday parks use?
Campsite and holiday park management systems include Booking Hound, Pitch Up Pro, ParkVision and Anytime Booking. These manage pitch bookings, availability, payments and guest communication. Channel manager integration distributes availability to OTAs automatically.
How do holiday parks attract more direct bookings?
A high-converting website with a best-price guarantee and frictionless booking engine is the foundation. Email marketing to past guests with exclusive direct-book offers is the highest-converting channel. Strong social media presence (particularly Instagram and Facebook) builds brand loyalty that drives direct bookings over OTA alternatives.
