Following the successful launch of PiNCAMPUS in autumn 2022 on the German market, the ADAC Camping / PiNCAMP initiative dedicated to training and quality improvement in the camping industry has been extended internationally. The first edition was attended via live streaming by more than 600 entrepreneurs from the open-air sector, who were interested in an update on the development prospects of this market by experienced and passionate speakers. The excellent reviews from the protagonists convinced the organisers to organise a second spring edition aimed at campsite owners from all over Europe.

The spring edition of PiNCAMPUS will be held from March 14 to 31, 2023. The webinars will be mainly in English and each week will be dedicated to a specific topic, in particular marketing with a focus on the current state of the market, sustainability both from the point of view of the campsite environment and of human resources, and revenue management with the contribution of two campsite owners who will talk about their experience and management model.
