Vekabo - Private sanitary facilities at mini campsites
The study explored whether COVID-19 increased demand for private sanitary facilities at campsites. Results showed a growing interest, with many campers preferring private facilities, though affordability is key. A sustainable concept, "Hobbit Hills," was proposed, featuring earth-sheltered units with natural temperature control and green energy features. The study suggests campsite owners could attract more guests with this concept, but should avoid high price increases and consider space limitations.

| Project description: | This research, conducted by students from HZ Vlissingen, investigates whether the Covid-19 pandemic increased the demand for private sanitary facilities at Vekabo camping sites. Vekabo, a Dutch organization with over 750 members, offers camping experiences in green areas. Due to the pandemic, there was a significant drop in guest numbers, and the organization seeks to understand if private sanitary facilities have become a priority for guests. The research includes surveys and interviews with camping site visitors, particularly focusing on German tourists. |
| Outcomes: | The research finds that the majority of respondents (53%) believe private sanitary facilities have become more important post-Covid. Although a substantial portion (47%) reported no change in preference, a noticeable shift towards desiring cleaner and more private facilities emerged. The study also suggests that private sanitary could improve guest satisfaction, with a potential increase in demand for such amenities, especially for guests who prioritize cleanliness and privacy. Based on these findings, the research recommends that Vekabo consider incorporating private sanitary facilities to meet evolving customer expectations. |
