In Soviet times, recreation at camp sites was one of the integral parts of the way of life. Nowadays, this good tradition is gradually reviving: you can have a decent rest without going abroad. It is possible and worthy to earn: a well-organized recreation center will pay off in 3-4 years.
Instructions
Step 1
Register a legal entity and start looking for an area where you could open or reconstruct a recreation center. Please note: it is sometimes easier to start building a base from scratch, on a leased site, than to re-equip an old one. Moreover, the owner of the abandoned base may appear at any moment.
Step 2
Choose a suitable location for your base, taking into account the distance from the regional center, the availability of local attractions and picturesque landscapes. It is desirable that the base is located on the banks of a river or lake. Be sure to check with the Department of Nature Management for any reserves or nature parks in the area. The site should be located in an area with well-developed infrastructure.
Step 3
Find out if there are all communications on the site you have chosen. However, if the funds allow, then you can bring communications on your own. The only drawback in such a decision is long approval and paperwork. And you will have to do a topographic survey of the site in any case (sometimes up to shooting from all points of each tree).
Step 4
Rent a plot. Its size depends on what you are going to build: whether it will be a modest base on a few hectares or a luxury hotel complex surrounded by nature.
Step 5
Contact the architects or first work out the sketches of the future base yourself, and then the project according to which you will conduct the construction. A standard recreation center should have:
- several houses (block or wooden) for a family of 3-4 people;
- several double houses;
- room for collective recreation;
- dining room, kitchen, warehouse, staff barracks and administration premises;
- two baths;
- dance floor, billiards, swimming pool (if there is no reservoir nearby);
Depending on the funds and the target audience, the recreation center can also rent fishing and sports equipment, a tennis court, a stadium, etc.
Step 6
Hire staff. At any recreation center, a qualified doctor and nurse, a cook, several maids (in shifts), several waiters (also in shifts), one or two handymen (can work part-time and night watchmen), 1-2 animators or guides, security guards must work at any recreation center. If you are planning seasonal work, then during the rest of the year you can leave only watchmen or guards at your disposal.
Step 7
Place an advertisement for your recreation center, depending on its status. If newspaper ads are enough for the middle class, then in order for wealthy clients to become interested in your base, you should conclude agreements with an advertising and travel agency.
