Should Centre Parcs open a new holiday centre in the Forest of Dean

Introduction

In my report, it is my job to find out if it would be suitable to build a holiday park, such as Centre Parcs in the Forest of Dean, and to see the political, economical, social and technological influences to see if the Forest of Dean is the appropriate place to do so.

Who are Centre Parcs

Centre Parcs revolutionised the holiday market in Holland over 30 years ago and did the same in the UK when it opened its first village at Sherwood Forest in July 1987, offering short break holidays on a year round basis.

Centre Parcs operates four Villages in the UK; each is set in a forest environment, typically 400 acres in size and provides high quality accommodation in fully equipped Villas, Apartments and Lodges, which are set amongst trees and streams. Each Village offers an extensive range of sports and leisure activities plus numerous restaurants, bars and retail outlets and a superb Aqua Sana Spa facility. Woodland, water and a natural healthy environment are the essential elements of a Centre Parcs break.

The Forest of Dean

The Forest of Dean is one of England's few remaining ancient forests, covering over 110 square kilometres of woodland. The Forest of Dean lies between the rivers Wye and Severn, in the western part of Gloucestershire, and on the borders of Wales and Herefordshire.

The Forest is one of the most distinctive areas of Britain having a seductive charm and character that is uniquely its own. The stunning landscapes and spectacular scenery have inspired artists, craftspeople, inventors, poets and playwrights, as well as the many visitors who return year after year.
