Operating a Park

Management, sales and building a leisure business

The final park book is about running a park as a business rather than being tied to its reception desk. It explains the recurring cycle of a park, where the money actually comes from and why documenting how the park runs is worth money. You will see the core roles a park needs, employing and motivating a team properly, managing unit owners as well as staff, and leading rather than doing. The funding chapter explains how parks are funded and valued, growing sensibly, and the tax and rating costs that shape cashflow. Further chapters cover which administrative tasks to systematise first, owning your own bookings and marketing, automation with judgement, and the risks that grow with you, several of them peculiar to parks. The book is honest that a park reaches the limit of self-teaching sooner than most strategies, and ends with a twelve-month scale plan. This is the final book in the Holiday Parks & Park Homes series.
