Broad incumbents

• Center Parcs: European operator of forest and coastal holiday parks with extensive family amenities. Comparable target customer (families with children) and amenity mix (swimming, animation, dining), though parks are larger and more standardized.

• Roompot: Largest Dutch holiday park operator with a portfolio of coastal and inland parks. Directly comparable as a scale incumbent in the same Dutch family-beach-holiday segment, though significantly larger and asset-diversified across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Others

Regional players
