Copacabana

What Copacabana does

Copacabana is a single-site beach and lake recreation facility located in Kalsdorf bei Graz, immediately south of Graz, Austria, and operated by C&P Copa GmbH, a privately held Austrian limited liability company. The core offering is access to a man-made lake (Badesee) with swim- and drink-quality water, supported by an on-site diving sports center (Tauchsportzentrum), a beach buffet (Badebuffet) providing food and beverage, and a vacation apartment complex branded Copacabana Lakeside Living that provides short- and long-term stays with private beach access.

The business generates revenue through a tiered ticket system: day tickets (adults €8, reduced €6 for the full 9:00–22:00 window), afternoon tickets (€7 / €5 from 15:00), evening tickets (€5 / €4 from 18:00), and season passes (€90 adult / €80 reduced annually), with parking on a separate day or season basis (€3–€5 per day; €60 per season). A second revenue stream comes from the rental of modern, equipped vacation apartments in Lakeside Living under the operating entity, and a third stream is on-site food and beverage sales.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and local, serving residents of Graz and the surrounding Graz-Umgebung district seeking urban 'Naherholung' and regional tourists seeking a short-haul 'Karibikfeeling' (Caribbean atmosphere) without long-distance travel. Marketing is light: an Instagram account (copacabana.kalsdorf) and a Facebook page act as the primary digital channels, with the company website publishing pricing and contact details. There is no mobile application, no third-party distribution, no disclosed funding, and no headcount beyond 1–10 employees. The C&P group (likely a construction and property operator) is the operating parent and is the only identified strategic partner.
