Élargissement et avenir : Center Parc au-delà de l’Europe
New locations planned
Center Parcs poursuit son expansion et renforce sa présence à l’international. Parmi les projets à venir, le Nordborg Resort au Danemark est particulièrement attendu pour l’été 2025. Ce parc, situé sur l’île d’Als à proximité de la frontière germano-danoise, proposera 440 cottages de divers niveaux de confort, allant du Comfort au VIP, le tout dans un style typiquement scandinave-danois.
Parallèlement, malgré un processus de vente en cours, l’entreprise réévalue ses plans d’ouvrir un sixième village de vacances au Royaume-Uni. Suite à l’abandon d’un projet près de Crawley pour des raisons environnementales, l’entreprise est à la recherche d’un nouveau site dans le sud-est de l’Angleterre.
L’impact sur le tourisme local et l’économie
L’élargissement de l’entreprise a un impact notable sur le tourisme local et l’économie. Le développement du Longford Forest en Irlande, d’un investissement de 100 millions d’euros, va créer 300 emplois durant sa phase de construction et environ 250 postes permanents à son achèvement.
Ce projet stimule également le marché touristique domestique, avec déjà 58 millions d’euros injectés dans l’économie irlandaise et 23 millions d’euros de revenus pour l’État entre avril 2023 et avril 2024.
Sur le plan local, le resort de Longford Forest a contribué à hauteur de 44 millions d’euros à l’économie et a créé plus de 1 300 emplois, dont 60% occupés par des résidents du comté de Longford et 36% par ceux des comtés avoisinants, soulignant l’importance de ces développements pour les communautés locales.
