Camping Service Points in rural areas

Camping Association Montenegro in partnership with foreign private companies
CRT Category:
Water, Sustainable & Inclusive Markets
What is this innovation about?
This innovation involves installing digital self-service camping points in rural areas of Montenegro, where campers can obtain technical water for their daily usage and safely empty sewage reservoirs using biofilters. The service points are strategically located near main sewage and water lines, offering a solution to environmental issues caused by septic tank disposal in areas lacking such facilities.
What’s in it for a tourism SME?
Implementing this solution doesn’t directly reduce costs for SMEs but can increase potential income by expanding the customer base. By addressing the needs of campers, this innovation helps in reaching out to a segment of the market that is interested in visiting rural areas but might be concerned about the lack of facilities.
Consider that:
This innovation is replicable in other rural areas, although the involvement of local governments and associations in financing, organizing and realising this solution, would certainly make it more feasible. This can facilitate the region in becoming a preferred camping destination, providing enhanced tourist experiences.
