Frankfurt am Main, August 28, 2023 – Camping Lodge AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of lodgyslife AG (WKN: A2LQ71, ISIN: DE000A2LQ710), has been awarded the contract to operate the Giessenpark facility, including the campsite, restaurant and outdoor pool, in the picturesque municipality of Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, effective January 1, 2024.
The announcement was made during a media conference held by the Bad Ragaz municipal council on August 28, 2023, signifying the municipality's confidence in Camping Lodge AG to manage this cherished recreational facility. The Giessenpark campsite, which operates year-round, provides an enchanting setting, nestled close to the banks of the Rhine and situated within the heart of the local recreation area. This locale holds significant economic and touristic value for the municipality of Bad Ragaz, catering to local residents, day visitors, and hotel guests alike.
Camping Lodge AG emerged as the preferred choice among seven competitors during the rigorous tendering process. The municipal council of Bad Ragaz was particularly impressed by several key factors, including the company's streamlined decision-making processes, commitment to sustainable practices, and willingness to invest in the site's development. Furthermore, Camping Lodge AG's cooperative approach throughout the selection process and their expressed commitment to a long-term partnership played pivotal roles in their selection.
Municipal councilor Göpfi Triet expressed his confidence in the collaboration, stating, "With Camping Lodge AG, we have secured a dependable partner who will enhance the Giessenpark facilities and contribute significantly to the appeal of Bad Ragaz."
Jan Vyskocil, representing Camping Lodge AG, shared insights into the operational plans, stating, "For the operation of the entire Giessenpark facilities, comprising the restaurant and campsite, we will establish an independent operating company.
