Income and Geographic Diversity

The Aspen Parks portfolio comprises 25 holiday parks located throughout Australia. These parks are strategically located to capitalise on three popular travel routes within Australia: West Coast, South Eastern and Eastern Seaboard. This allows travellers to use multiple Aspen Parks locations in each leg of their trip.

The creation of a network of properties also enables Aspen Parks to leverage revenue through broader marketing, cross promotion and packaged offers with both domestic and international tour operators.

This wide-reaching array of properties offers investors diversity in the sources of income received, as well as the benefit of spreading out the risk of a downturn in any one location.
