Simon has been operating a caravan park in the Barossa Valley for two years. He is keen to expand his business by increasing the capacity of his site, but wants to know more about the capacity of other caravan parks in his area.

Simon contacts us and is directed to a range of free data on our website about the tourist accommodation industry, including caravan parks, in the Barossa. Using data about changes in the capacity of caravan parks over time assists Simon to make a more informed decision about whether to expand his business.
