The May bank holiday has confirmed a trend gaining strength in the camping sector: deseasonalization. With an expected occupancy rate of 75%, the data reflects a change in tourist habits. Travelers are opting for frequent getaways outside the peak season, seeking natural and outdoor destinations that offer flexibility and contact with the environment.
Digital reservations and geolocation optimize off-season demand 🌐
Online booking platforms and geolocation apps have made it easier for the sector to adapt to this new demand. Campsites that integrate dynamic pricing management systems can adjust rates in real-time based on occupancy. Additionally, the use of weather and mobility data allows anticipating demand peaks on non-traditional dates, optimizing resources and staff without the need for large structural investments.
May camping: where the down jacket and swimsuit coexist 🏕️
Seeing a group setting up a tent while another complains that the paella isn't cooking properly on the gas stove is already a classic of the May bank holiday. Deseasonalization has these things: the sun warms, but the shade freezes. And there's always a smart aleck who swore that the electric blanket was an unnecessary luxury. Spoiler: they needed it at two in the morning.
