REPORT TASK

Center Parcs

Way back in 1968, Alan Ruff in his book "Holland and the Ecological Landscapes" discussed the beginning of a new environmental movement. The Center Parcs concept was developed around the same time and in the same country: Holland. Its aim was to provide people with short breaks close to nature in a forest setting in a way that linked business development to responsibility for land management, based upon sound ecological principles.

Center Parcs was established by Piet Derksen, who was Dutch. His first venture into creating short holiday breaks in forested areas was in 1967, when the first holiday village, De Lommerbergen, was opened in Holland. In 1981, the company opened its first centre outside Holland, in Belgium. In 1987, Center Parcs UK commenced business with the opening of the Sherwood Forest village.The ‘villa in the forest’ was born out of Derksen’s love of escaping from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and getting back to nature. When Center Parcs first set up in Britain, the English Tourist Board dubbed it `the most important innovation in British tourism since the war`.

My order went 3 hours late and I also went mad. Then the customer support team calmed me down and offered me a flat discount of 50%. However, I did get my order and chilled out as the work was exactly what I requested. Next time I would place my order a bit sooner to save any trouble.
