World of Rides, the longest established U.K. family-owned manufacturer and distributor of Children’s Rides celebrated its 50th Anniversary during 2019, and in addition to their world-beating seventy-two model range of 12v and 24v battery rides, they are also the official UK distributors for many other award-winning themed ranges of 240v static children’s rides too! They are also UK’s leading source of ready-made themed battery ride attractions for the holiday resorts industry, such as Bumper Boat and Bumper Aqua-Ball pools, Bumper Car tracks and Bumper-Ball pitches, Go-Kart tracks and Jurassic-Adventure trails, as well as Driving Schools and many others! Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the UK’s leading holiday park and holiday resort owners and operators have already been placing their orders for 2021 ever since November 2020, for pollution free battery ride attractions, knowing that however short the season turns out to be for 2021, their attractions will almost certainly still achieve pay-back plus a profit, based upon their past-experience of World of Rides attractions! The Government has already stated that it is their intention that the current lockdown will begin to be eased as quickly as possible, and the Bank of England have predicted that the public have saved around £250 billion during lockdown to spend on their leisure pursuits… which if they enjoy them, will result in them returning for even more UK daycations and holidays in future years too! With all UK holiday hotels and holiday parks announcing being almost fully booked already, and with many millions of holidaymakers still being hesitant about taking holiday accommodation this early after the pandemic, then millions of holiday visitors with millions of pounds to spend between them are going to descend on all UK holiday resorts this year, hoping to find new attractions to entertain and amuse them… more especially since the weather is also forecast to be wonderfully hot and sunny!   All World of Rides attractions are brimming with CE, TUV, and UK HSE-BACTA-ADIPS safety features as well as all the latest digital sound effects, LED lighting and rugged GRP bodywork attract features… and they constantly remain high on the wish-lists of some of the leisure industries leading buyers and operators! You can view a small sample range of their rides at their website, which is also currently being updated:  www.worldofrides.com     Thank You!

Create a 5-star retreat with FDomes Glamping

F Domes man flying kite

Have you ever dreamt about going beyond the ordinary?  Would you like to upgrade your resort to a 5-star quality?  Would you like to achieve higher income per night? Would you like to attract a new group of guests? Would you like to extend your season or book stays all year round, regardless of the season?   If you have answered “yes” to at least one of these questions you should definitely get to know FDomes Glamping. The out-of-the-box geodome kits provide deluxe outdoor lodging with an extra touch of originality. Luxury glamping pods may be set up in areas where hotels are impossible to build.    The benefits of FDomes cannot be counted but there are some especially worth highlighting. Glamping attracts new types of customers, including those who like the idea of staying outdoors but seek for spots having all mod cons. Your guests will have all the benefits of staying in untouched locations without the hassle of rolling out of the sleeping bags.  Geodesic domes stand out among other types of tents and outdoor accommodations because of its unconventional shape and unique, airy interiors. Not only can you set up a new glamping resort but you can also expand your current business with a new type of pods – creating VIP interiors for guests who are eager to pay premium for a unique and Instagramable experience.    To make the FDome Glamping interior more luxurious, you can decide on a personalized all-in cubitat divided by function. In its basic version, you will find a cleverly designed bathroom with a shower, a washbasin and a toilet. Comfort has been addressed with a big mirror and elegant arranged cupboards that hide a water heater inside.    If you wish to provide your guests with a feeling of “homeliness” or there is no restaurant near your resort or you do not offer meals; the sleek and modern kitchen, equipped with a sink, induction hot plates and a small fridge can be added. Chic cabinets make space for small appliances creating this galley kitchen blend into a living space. To make the interior design even easier, you may also decide on a show-stopping bedroom with plenty of cabinet space for extra storage. When planning a gateway for families, you may wish to consider a mezzanine, which can serve as a second bedroom. All these modules are available in a mix and match model depending on your needs. Just connect water, sewage and electricity and you are ready to accommodate your first visitors. All the modules can not only be used in FDomes Glamping but also in any camping, glamping, cabin, hotel or anywhere you need, as the cubitat is a stand-alone solution.     Additionally, you have many types of furniture sets to choose from. Divided into living spaces, like a living room or a dining room, they are carefully selected to suit any dome size. Combining personality and great design is something FDomes interior designers have achieved. The main thought when creating the furniture sets was the aforementioned feeling of “homeliness” (the term used by Line Nevers Krabbenhøft). According to Nevers Krabbenhøft, there are four parameters creating the need of “homeliness”, and these are wellbeing, authenticity, feeling safe and community.  Wellbeing stands for being here and now, appreciating the free time as nowadays time is luxury. Therefore, we need to focus on creating the welcoming and comfortable atmosphere supporting self-insight. You may wish to resign from Wi-Fi, provide meditation classes or simply put aromatherapy candles in the interior to make your guests feel the peace and harmony, and to slow down their everyday run called life.  Authenticity is uniqueness and personality. These two will be supported by remote locations and non-standard accommodation, like FDomes Glamping. You may want to stand out from the crowd, offering your guests individually decorated interiors, homemade food or local activities.    Another important aspect influencing “homeliness” is feeling safe. What does it mean? It may be achieved by creating private spheres with a kitchen and living area that are not offered in major hotels. This will have your guests feel safe, just as they would be in their own home.  Community is supported by the sense of belonging. Focus on handwritten notes, photos and perhaps a personal welcome. Do not forget that food connects people. Offer your guests a picnic basket, invite them to dine together as a group or organize a bonfire.    Setting up a glamping resort or upgrading the already existing one has never been easier. FDomes has taken glamping into a new level with its glorious and complex solution.  What you need is to add a pinch of “homeliness”.   For more information click here
