Drawing on data and analysis from the Mr Preno Observatory, Titanka! shares its perspective on the 2025 season for Italian campsites and holiday villages, highlighting signs of resilience, new challenges and opportunities for the future. The aim is to provide practical insights on how to turn emerging trends into concrete strategies for 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 2025 season has just closed with a mixed picture for the open-air sector. According to the Mr Preno Observatory<\/strong>, enquiries and bookings rose overall, but demand patterns were less linear and more volatile<\/strong>. August still delivered a surge in confirmations, yet the booking window shrank markedly, with many last-minute reservations, inflated prices and shorter stays.<\/p>\n

This high level of indecision and uncertainty<\/strong> may have multiple, partly predictable causes: greater sensitivity to external factors such as weather, flight prices and economic news; sudden changes of mind by travellers; or tourists reacting to momentary prompts such as flash sales or last-minute offers. The key question for open-air operators is how to translate these behaviours and data into effective strategies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Demand holds up \u2013 but timing and behaviour shift<\/h4>\n

The open-air segment confirmed its resilience, with requests up 12%, <\/strong>showing that market interest has not slowed alarmingly. However, the time profile has changed dramatically<\/strong>. Between September and December<\/strong>, requests for quotes jumped 34%, accounting for 5.1% of the annual total \u2013 a break with traditional patterns that opens up new scenarios.<\/p>\n

By contrast, January-March<\/strong>, historically the peak period for early bookings, slipped slightly to 33% of total requests<\/strong>. This points to a growing tendency for consumers to start researching and seeking inspiration earlier, while delaying the actual purchase decision.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAugust effect\u201d: bookings yes but all at the last minute<\/h4>\n

August 2025 behaved unusually. Travellers who traditionally go away in this month did so again, but booked much closer to their departure date<\/strong>. The knock-on effects were:<\/p>\n
