Problems
Southern Europe's inland depreciation of people, opportunity, economy
Southern Europe's costal over-population and over-tourism
Six month tourism season that limits revenue and investor interest
Rising costs for both operators and consumers
Solution
Capitalise on the needs of inland municipalities to obtain incentives that lead to low development cost and lower operational cost, to build and operate a large year-round eco-entertainment village in Southern Europe at competitive prices, while rejuvenating devasted regions.
Objectives
Support local, regional and national businesses, local artists, while promoting sustainability, responsible capitalism, inland tourism and healthy living.
Operate the most successful year-round holiday destination for both locals and non-locals in Southern Europe.
Details
The plan for the entertainment village includes an eco-farm, a solar farm, a man-made reservoir, hotel rooms, apartments, cabins, shops, music bars, restaurants, art galleries, a cinema, a theatre, sports, gym, gaming, pools, camping area, an area for classes (cooking, meditation, yoga, etc), and a large open air stage, all surrounded by a wall where guests can jog, bicycle, walk, with spaces for cafes, restaurants, outdoor classes, and for buskers to perform.
The village will use its charitable status to attract A-list performers
The village will host year-round events that feature local, regional and national talent (art festivals, film festivals, music festivals, comedy festivals, flea-markets, artisans markets, farmers markets, carnival parades on the wall, marathons on the wall and more)
All deliveries, and logistics are managed from below the village, which includes sanitation, recycling, deliveries, engineering, warehousing and maintenance.
Operators of restaurants, bars, shops, galleries, gaming must comply with rules of the village (fair trade, local employees, locally farmed products, health standards and a percentage of sales to selected charities).
Reputable entertainment operator of cinema, theatre and amphitheatre.
No cash transactions. The village will have its own payment system (card, digital wallet) that guests can transfer funds to and from.
Safety first security that is focused on prevention to maintain the eco-village free of theft, abuse and disturbances.
Pricing strategy
Competitive pricing for market(s) penetration with periodic promotional offers
Marketing Strategy
Comprehensive, although primarily driven by sales affiliates, as well as every restaurant, bar, shop and event relying heavily.
Notes
This is a large project that can be broken into stages if necessary. It is important to know that I have had conversations with autonomous regions of Spain and Portugal and that were eager to do what ever they can to have such a project. I spoke with a very large music festival operator that was also eager to bring A-list talent to such a project. I am in possession of a very applicable brand name and domain, as well a work in progress business plan. Feel free to contact me at gary.thoulouis@orangepeelpr.com
