    Podcast (EN) – Ramon van Reine - ACSI

    In a interview at first the Catalan Camping Congress, Ramon van Reine, CEO of ACSI, discussed the company's efforts in digitalization and sustainability within the camping sector. ACSI has developed digital tools such as the Camping Comfort app and a digital Camping Card to enhance campsite operations, improve sustainability, and save time at reception desks. The Camping Comfort app, introduced two years ago, allows clients to order services and access information digitally, reducing the need for printed materials. The digital Camping Card facilitates faster check-ins by providing campsites with detailed client information.In this episode of Conversazioni@Campingbusiness, Van Reine highlighted a market trend showing a resurgence of North European campers traveling to Southern Europe, which could lead to a significant increase in overnight stays. Early signs suggest that the current tourist season might be one of the best ever, especially in Spain.ACSI is actively promoting eco-friendly practices among campsites. They advocate for measures such as separate billing for electricity to encourage conservation and timed showers to reduce water usage. These initiatives have led to substantial energy savings for campsites. Additionally, ACSI supports waste management practices like pay-per-use garbage disposal to foster environmental awareness among campers.Enjoy the video!

    Conversazioni@CampingBusiness: Miquel Gotanegra - President of FCC

    Between April 25th and 26th, 2024 the first Catalan Camping Congress was held in Vilanova i la Geltrù, near Barcelona. The event, which the Camping Business editorial team was present at, gave us the opportunity to meet several important figures in the sector, with whom we then had a chat for our Conversazioni@CampingBusiness series.The first appointment could only be with Miquel Gotanegra i Portell, President of the Federació Catalana de Càmpings. “This congress coincides with the 70th anniversary of the opening of the first campsite in Catalonia,” said Gotanegra as he opened the event. “It is a fact that makes us proud and shows that we are a consolidated sector. When the first campsites were born, everyone thought that it would be an ephemeral sector. In place of four tents, it was expected that one day a hotel would be built. Instead, our industry is here to stay”.In this episode of Conversazioni@CampingBusiness we explored the topic in depth, talking about the current situation, the reasons why the congress was organized and the challenges that campsites, not just Catalan ones, will have to face in the coming years. Gotanegra responded partly in Spanish and partly in English, but English subtitles are available for the entire interview. Enjoy the video!
