  • Anticipated Merger of Dome Holdings Limited, Regent Topco Limited, Tyson Topco Limited and PD Parks Holdings Limited
    Anticipated merger of Dome Holdings Limited, Regent Topco Limited, Tyson Topco Limited and PD Parks Holdings Limited ME/6550/15 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 12 October 2015. Full text of the decision published on 29 October 2015. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. Dome Holdings Limited, Regent Topco Limited, Tyson Topco Limited (collectively Park Resorts) and PD Parks Holdings Limited (Parkdean) have entered into sale and purchase agreements, under which Park Resorts and Parkdean are to be merged through the acquisition of all their respective shares by a new company to form a new entity, Parkdean Resorts (the Merger). Park Resorts and Parkdean are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considers that the Parties are enterprises that will cease to be distinct as a result of the Merger, that the turnover test is met and that, accordingly, arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 3. The Parties both operate holiday parks in Great Britain. The CMA has assessed the impact of the Merger on three product frames of reference, namely the supply of pitches for privately owned static accommodation, the supply of rented static accommodation and the supply of rental pitches for touring caravans and tents. The CMA has assessed the impact of the Merger at the national level and at a regional level in the four areas where the Parties overlap most closely, namely East Anglia, North Devon, South Wales and South West Scotland.

  • Isle of Wight Holiday Park Sector Audit and Review
    ISLE OF WIGHT HOLIDAY PARK SECTOR AUDIT AND REVIEW FINAL DRAFT 18.08.06 for Tourism South East and Isle of Wight Tourism by Rural Solutions Ltd June 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • For the purposes of this report a “Holiday Park” has been taken to include a wide range of holiday accommodation businesses including some holiday park accommodation associated with other types of accommodation (such as hotels). Equally we will refer to holiday ‘units’; these being either a chalet, a caravan in all its various forms, or a tent. • It is becoming increasingly difficult to spot consumer “waves”. There is a significant revolution going on in how “we” holiday and changes are occurring more rapidly than had ever been seen before. • The UK domestic holiday market is so large that it remains relatively stable despite any public uncertainty driven by world events. Stability is also a function of the wider UK economy which has, for the last 5-8 years been relatively stable with low inflation and some growth certainty. • The volatility of the leisure market and the higher aspirations of customers today, is causing leisure providers to continually evaluating new concepts, but they are also increasingly ring-fencing their products to limit any damaging failures. • In their publication ‘Destination South East’ the South East England Regional Assembly highlight the fact that “..the Isle of Wight and Brighton receive the highest level of visitor spend”. • Current trading conditions for traditional holiday parks are considered to be ‘challenging’ with consumer spending slowing down as a result of rising fuel costs and more particularly a reducing willingness by consumers to supplement their main European holiday by taking extra short-breaks in the UK.
