Target

Park Holidays UK, headquartered in Hastings, operates a portfolio of holiday parks across the United Kingdom, providing a range of caravan and lodge stays, glamping options, camping facilities, and pitches for caravans and lodges, as well as the opportunity to purchase a secondary residence. Established in the 1980s, the organization underwent significant expansion in 2001 with the acquisition of ten parks from Haven Holidays, enabling it to extend its presence into Dorset, Hampshire, Essex, and Suffolk. The parks offer a variety of amenities, including leisure facilities, clubs, swimming pools, sports facilities, and luxury holiday accommodations. In recent years, the organization has undertaken substantial renovation work, focusing on enhancing its infrastructure, clubs, and accommodations to bolster its service offerings. The company's economic model generates revenue from three primary streams: the sale of static caravans to private owners, site fees paid by these owners, and the rental of holiday stays to vacationers.
