Additional 4.5 million kuna have been invested in pools and luxury tents.
Small family camping park Polidor in Funtana in Istria is growing very fast. With a capacity of 300 guests, it is one of few camps which are opened all year round. The camp was opened in July 2015, and in the first six it recorded 7,000 overnight stays, reports Poslovni.hr on April 18, 2017.
In 2016, it recorded an increase in the number of overnight stays, reaching the figure of 24,000. From the beginning of October 2016 to the end of March this year, the camp had 3,360 overnight stays, thus proving that it is possible to extend the season to more than the standard three months during the summer, and increase the number of year-long jobs. In full tourist season, the camp employs 35 workers.
In 2016, Polidor had revenues of 3.5 million kuna and this year, due to the increase in capacity, it is expected that the revenues will increase by 10 percent. As much as 15 million kuna were invested in the opening of the camp, with additional 4.5 million kuna invested this year in additional facilities.
Polidor is preparing many new features, the most important being the construction of two swimming pools, one for adults and another for children with water attractions, which will open by the end of April, together with a pool bar. In addition, this year the owners will introduce seven new luxury mobile homes and 12 luxury glamping tents which will include an offer of special breakfast in baskets.
The camp has already received numerous awards, including INOVACAMP 2016 for innovative concept of providing high-quality personalized service. The owners of the camp have a personalized approach toward each guest, and the innovating spirit is seen primarily in multi-purpose buildings with amenities for guests during the winter months.
Heated rooms contain sanitary facilities with toilets for children and the disabled, showers, family bathrooms, laundry facilities, and even a pet shower. The building also includes a children's play area with a large slide, a small fitness room and rooms for massage and billiards.
The second building includes a lounge with a fireplace and a TV viewing area for entertaining in cold weather. In the vicinity of the camp there is a modern beach to which guests are transported by a small tourist train.
