Additional Facilities / Services
Shop – Take away – Bar – Recreation facilities, swimming pool etc: if these facilities are provided, they will be assessed. If not part of the resort's facilities, the resort will not be penalized. In other words, a resort is not compelled to offer these facilities, nor will it be penalized for not offering these facilities. If you don't offer, for example a bar, you will not be penalized – you will only be penalized if it is of poor quality or if maintenance has been neglected. Should the shop, take away or bar be operated by a franchise owner or lessee, it is still the responsibility of the park owner to ensure they are clean and well run, well stocked and carries a range of goods, items or take away food appropriate to the market. A park supplying only bread, milk, cigarettes and newspapers will not be considered to having a shop. Privately owned mobile shops visiting the park will not be regarded as to be part of the park.
If, on your advertising material, you publicize certain facilities in the resort, these facilities must be within a reasonable distance of the camping facilities. The camper must not be required to travel by motor vehicle literally miles to these facilities, especially if the facilities offered are recreational and form part of your resort. If it necessitates that guests must travel for more than a few hundred meters to use these facilities, it must be clearly stated on your promotional material. Guests expect facilities advertised to be within a reasonable distance (walking) from their camping sites. Naturally, game viewing, birding hikes, walks and trails etc. are not included in this proviso. Game viewing, birding, walks and trails etc. are not assessed, as they form part of your features and are not classified as facilities. |
