The Market 

A survey by YouGov in 2009 (quoted in TUI, 2010) predicts a 70% increase in participation in adventure travel over the next 3 years, in particular a doubling in activity, ‘off-the-beaten track’ and ‘special interest holidays’ and a trebling in ‘adventure’, ‘ecofriendly/ ethical’ and ‘discovery’ holidays.

 

One of the attractions of the resort is its close proximity to hundreds of visitor attractions, including the world famous Edinburgh Castle. The resort is a great base to explore the rest of the country.  Many of the attractions are free and give you an incredible insight to the magic that is Scotland.

 

We all know about the success of Center Parcs in England and its 90% plus occupancy rates. and the appeal of leisure and adventure resorts is growing, especially in Scotland.  For example, the United Kingdom Tourism Survey calculated the 2008 volume and value of some of Scotland’s key outdoor activities, including walking, wildlife-watching, adventure sports and mountain biking, at 2.5m trips and £759m expenditure.  

 

However, increased personal disposable income, increasing interest in health and wellbeing and greater participation in activity sports have led to recent estimates that it could increase to as much as 3.7m trips and £848m expenditure by  2015.  A YouGov survey predicts that over the next three years, Scotland will see a 70% increase in participation in adventure travel, a doubling of participation in either activity, ‘off the beaten track’ or special interest holidays and a trebling in the number of people taking either an adventure, eco-friendly/ethical or ‘discovery’ holiday.

 

Kersewell Estate - The Location 

Edinburgh and Glasgow are easily reached within an hour’s drive and provide an incredibly diverse range of attractions to complement the resort’s own activities. These range from first class food and drink to world class sport to an eclectic array of visitor attractions in the vicinity of the Kersewell Resort that  is simply unrivalled by any other UK resort.

- a week’s own use of the resort suite

 

After paying an initial reservation fee of £2,500, investors pay a 30% deposit to secure their investment. The balance is due in stages: a further 20% at the footings stage, 30% once airtight and 20% on fit out or completion. Developer funding options are available for the staged payments.
