Glamping Consultancy Service
Wigwam Cabins can provide you with a fully tailored feasibility study and planning service to help get your project off the ground. We will look into all aspects of your proposal and can provide everything needed to start making your glamping dreams a reality.
Feasibility Study
Simply put, a feasibility study will consider the vision you have for your glamping business, along with other factors, such as your site assets, financing options, planning situation and the market opportunity, to work out if your project is possible and ultimately – profitable !
With decades 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 or when you may be better looking into something else.
There are several key elements to a feasibility study and generally it will involve someone visiting your site to give a full appraisal of suitability for such a venture. This will look closely at the layout and topography of your land, access considerations and likelihood of any planning issues.
Broadly speaking there are three main sections to a study:
Site Viability Appraisal
Site Market Appraisal
Summary and Recommendation
Site Viability Appraisal:
This explores your proposed site in detail, specifically looking at your land assets and will include:
Location and landscape
Topography of the site
Access consideration
Health and safety consideration
Access for services and availability of electricity and water
Likelihood of successful planning
Recommended accommodation units and optimal layout
Site Market Appraisal:
This again is very detailed and is an in-depth analysis of market dynamics, helping you to ensure that there is a demand within your area and your project is indeed a viable proposition - enabling you to be confident of your success and associated financial rewards. We will conduct a desk based analysis covering:
Size of potential market
Market dynamics and audience profiling
Competition in the area
USP’s and marketing opportunities.
Summary and Recommendations
Our feasibility studies culminate in a substantial report based document detailing all of the above, complete with photographic evidence as necessary, with a clear summary of our appraisal, our recommendations and next steps required for you to embark on your glamping business journey.
