PREMIUM SUSTAINABLE GUEST TRANSPORT FOR MODERN HOLIDAY PARKS

Posted on November 11, 2025

Holiday park operators know that first impressions matter – and when it comes to moving guests in comfort and style, it doesn’t get better than the Toro Vista. Vista is Toro’s new all-electric passenger vehicle, designed with the modern leisure sector in mind.

Whether for transporting people across large resorts or connecting different facilities, the Vista range offers a premium experience that will impress guests and reflect well on your business. Smooth, electric and eco-friendly At the heart of the Vista are two HyperCell lithium-ion batteries, with the option of an additional third to ensure all-day dependability.

This advanced technology delivers all the benefits of electric power – less noise and vibration, zero emissions and simplified maintenance – with the industry-leading reliability that Toro is known for. For operators, that means fewer disruptions and reduced running costs, while guests can enjoy a smoother, quieter and environmentally responsible ride.

A beautiful, customisable design Vista combines elegant lines with a sleek finish, creating a people carrier that fits perfectly in any holiday park looking to stand out. The durable TPO plastic body can be painted, wrapped or customised with decals, allowing operators to easily add their logos, strengthen their brands and elevate the look of their fleet.

Built for comfort, resilience and versatility Available in four, six or eight-passenger models, the Vista is adaptable to a wide range of needs. Its sleek design and sturdy build quality make it a durable long-term investment that enhances both operational efficiency and guest satisfaction. And what’s best, the Vista is also a joy to use.

Independent suspension, generous legroom and ergonomic seating ensure every journey is smooth and comfortable for both guests and drivers. Practical touches – from ample storage to an electronically controlled parking brake that engages automatically – add to its ease of use.

Superior guest experience The Vista is already making an impression at one of the world’s most prestigious golf clubs. At Royal Portrush, specially branded Vista vehicles are now in use transporting members and guests between the course and the club’s luxury accommodation, The Rosses.

According to the team, the vehicles not only look brilliant but have significantly improved the overall guest experience. See the Toro Vista in action Want to know more?

MAXIMISING THE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

Posted on May 13, 2025

Introducing the KAASPEED all-electric scooter. Now there’s the opportunity to offer customers an exciting, comfortable, fun and convenient way to get around, maximising their holiday experience and allowing them to make the most of their time, enjoying the facilities on offer.

PUT SAFETY FIRST FOR ULTIMATE PEACE OF MIND
Safety is not a problem with the maximum speed setting function. There’s a top speed of 26mph, but with a preset card it’s possible to select a personal maximum speed to mitigate risk.

The scooter is easy to use ensuring safety from an operational perspective. It’s stable thanks to the self-balancing wheels and is free-standing when parked.

TRANSPORTATION TO TACKLE ANY TERRAIN
One of the greatest assets for many holiday parks is how they give customers access to nature – forests, woods, parkland, even the beach – and KAASPEED makes it fun to explore thanks to its multi-terrain capabilities.

There are two choices of tyres. For hard surface roads and paths: use the standard multi-use turf/hard surface tyres, available in both a standard radius and as flat self-balancing. For woodland, grassy or sandy surfaces: use the Scorpion tyre for better traction on looser terrains.

EXPLORE FURTHER FOR LONGER A KAASPEED
scooter can carry passengers for up to 38 miles on a single charge so there’s no need to worry about battery range or running out of power.

MAKING ADVENTURE ACCESSIBLE
For guests with reduced mobility, KAASPEED offers the chance for adventure, with an easy on/off design, and all its controls located on the handles. With plenty of legroom and comfortable seating too, all guests can enjoy your venue.

CARRY EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR THE JOURNEY
Optional extras include a shopping basket or cargo rack and there are plenty of smaller features and accessories such as bluetooth speakers, rearview mirrors, throttle locks and front fitting carry cases. This makes them an efficient transportation for staff too.

With the shopping tray or cargo rack, they become ideal vehicles for carrying housekeeping equipment for maintenance tasks, hotel room inspections, room service and transporting packages and luggage. It can even provide security staff with an unobtrusive way of patrolling a venue.

High-quality materials and clever design also result in lower maintenance costs than other modes of transport, making KAASPEED scooters a sound investment all around. Give guests a five-star experience With zero emissions and zero noise pollution, KAASPEED keeps disruption to a minimum.

Even with an entire fleet on the go, guests can enjoy tranquillity and peace. With summer right around the corner, there’s no better time to book your KAASPEED demo – it’s the ideal solution for electric transport for holiday parks.

GIVE YOUR PARK A LIFT

Posted on February 13, 2025

For more value from your transport choice, the STAR Capella 2-HCX Lifted is a versatile option for holiday parks. It serves equally as a people carrier and a work machine. Seating two with ample luggage space and with a towing capacity of 320kg and cargo box payload of 150kg means it gets the work done.

Being a ‘lifted’ model means it stands at 170mm off the ground giving it great off-road capabilities and meaning it suits most surfaces and hilly sites. It comfortably delivers up to 80 miles on a full charge and can be charged to full overnight.

And there’s no fear of ‘range anxiety’ as it’s really easy to tell via the app what the battery life is so there’s no chance of ever getting caught out no matter how big your site. But there’s no need to take just our word for it, Three Cliffs Bay, a five-star holiday park, in Gower, Wales, has one for its 52-acre cliff land site where it quickly established its reputation for quiet motoring and a productive performance.

Specifically, it is being used for off road carrying situations and gardening jobs and owner Tom Beynon says: “This machine proved very quickly that it could take on all the tasks we needed it to. The big, strong cargo area at the back and the fact that we can add a trailer means it’s an essential part of our gardening arsenal.”

With zero emissions and very low noise, the work day doesn’t interrupt the customers’ holiday, early work schedules or operations near the caravans, glamping, camping and yurts at the venue. With a comprehensive warranty: two-years bumper to bumper on the vehicle, four years on the chassis and six-year limited warranty on the lithium battery, a STAR people carrier is a safe and reliable choice.

YOUR NEXT STAR PERFORMER

YOUR NEXT STAR PERFORMER

THE CAPELLA 2HCX in action at Three Cliffs Bay holiday park.

Every holiday park will appreciate the vital role a utility vehicle plays in the smooth running of the site. And the STAR EV range of utility vehicles not only performs effectively behind the scenes but also as the star of the show too.

For holiday parks that can extend over acres of land, utility vehicles aren’t just a nice-to-have; they’re essential for daily operations, maintenance and gardening work as well as transporting equipment, guests and luggage from one side of the resort to another. STAR EV’s award-winning range brings productivity, sustainability, efficiency and value to every holiday park’s fleet and we look at how they do that.

ENERGY DENSITY
The greater energy density of a 210Ah maintenance-free lithium-ion battery makes STAR utility vehicles productive members of the team. With an industry leading tow capacity and payload able to handle up to 670kg of material and an electric tipping bed ideal for off-loading, vehicles such as the Capella 2HCX and Capella Work Machine are ideal to ensure the smooth behind the scenes operation of your holiday park.

Whether it be transporting guests, linen, maintenance equipment, hospitality services or even medical equipment, the Capella can maintain steady productivity between charge cycles, and easily be topped up via an on-board Lester charger. With the Lifted model staff and guests can also be safe traversing any kind of off-road terrain.

The guest experience is a top priority for a holiday park, so a vehicle that can be seen but not heard is vital. With a lithium-ion battery, the STAR EV lineup is able to perform its maintenance tasks noiselessly so as not to disturb the peace and enjoyment of the park’s visitors – an essential around guests staying in tents and caravans.

Even so, these vehicles don’t always belong behind the scenes. The Sirius 2+2 is designed to hold up to four passengers and is an attractive addition to any holiday park, elevating the guest experience, allowing them to ride in style and comfort as they take in the views of their destination.

THE SIRIUS 2+2 IS DESIGNED to hold up to four passengers and is an attractive addition to any holiday park.

ELECTRIC FLEETS
Many guests go to holiday parks to escape the bustle of city life, including the traffic that comes with it. With a close connection to their natural surroundings, it’s important for many resorts to be kind to the countryside they call home. STAR EV electric fleets produce zero emissions or leaks when being charged.

Pair this with superior energy efficiency and they reduce their actual pollution percentage, eliminating any contribution to global warming. What’s more, beyond their zero emissions, machines such as the Capella and Sirius are lightweight with a light tread too, providing a gentle drive on grounds while the lithium battery also eliminates the risk of a hydrochloric spill.

AN INSTANT NEW ATTRACTION

AN INSTANT NEW ATTRACTION

BATTERY RIDES can be operating and taking money within a few hours of reaching a holiday park site.

Battery-operated rides are long-term generators of all-year-round income for holiday park destinations. Crucially, battery rides can be operating and taking money, on any hard and level surface, or pool in the case of bumper boats and family day boats, within a few hours of the rides and their long-life batteries being delivered, fully charged, to site.

Top of the 2023 popular attractions for holiday destinations are bumper cars, bumper boats, disco bikes, driving schools and ‘Big Car’ adventures, advise World Of Rides. These chart-topping choices all come with high-income credentials and with versions of customer-friendly ‘pay-to-play’ systems.

Offering zero emissions, ‘parent and child’ battery-operated rides can also be easily and safely operated either indoors or outdoors as the weather and seasonal demands dictate and can be easily transported between grounds. “Can I just say a very big thank you to all our early-bird and forward-thinking customers for their early confirmed orders as it saves any last-minute panics and the disappointment of a late delivery,” said World Of Rides’ Sales Manager Andrew Robinson.

Forward ordering is everything this year, due to supply chain problems world-wide, and the rides are also much cheaper to buy, as further price increases this year are almost certain. All World of Rides battery-operated rides are proudly supplied with full UK BACTA-HSE-ADIPS safety documentation that is now an essential requirement of BACTA membership.
