Feasibility Study
What is a glamping feasibility study?
Simply put, a feasibility study will consider the vision you have for your glamping business, along with all other factors such as your site, financing options, planning situation etc and work out if your project is possible and ultimately profitable.
A feasibility study is a great way to dip your toe in the water and work out whether a glamping business is really something that’s feasible on your site. For those thinking of a glamping venture for the first time, it is essential to enlist the help of specialists. A study will involve someone visiting your site to give you a full appraisal of suitability for such a venture. This will involve looking closely at the layout and topography of your land, access considerations and likelihood of any planning issues.
You will also be advised on the most suitable locations for your accommodation units, ensuring you maximise the opportunities afforded to you by your views or other unique assets, together with advice on location of services and any ground work constraints. With a vast range of different glamping accommodation options to choose from, you will receive advice on which units will give you the best Return on Investment, taking into account set up costs and ongoing running / management costs.
A feasibility study is most likely the very first stage in your glamping journey and we cannot stress how essential it is to ensure your project gets off to the right start from the outset. Without this and without the knowledge of potential pitfalls, you could end up making costly mistakes further down the line. Imagine if you had spent thousands of pounds on a planning application only for it to be rejected on the basis of something that would have been picked up through the feasibility study.
With decades of experience in the industry and close to a hundred sites around the UK, we have a pretty good idea of when a project is likely to succeed and when you may be better looking into something else.
