The transition to a more sustainable future is high on the agenda in the Netherlands, and 2025 marks an important year with various new rules and measures. Although many of these changes are not specifically aimed at the recreation sector, they certainly have an impact on businesses within this industry. How can you as an entrepreneur respond to these changes while also taking advantage of the opportunities they offer? In this blog post, we highlight the key changes and provide practical tools to help you prepare.
The announced increase in drinking water tariffs in 2025 has a significant impact on households and businesses. For recreation entrepreneurs, where water plays an indispensable role, this news is especially relevant. From holiday parks to campsites and wellness locations: water consumption represents a considerable cost. With price increases of up to 11%, it is time to reevaluate water management and take sustainable steps. In this blog, we explore the causes of these increases, the impact on your business operations, and how smart technology can help you save both water and costs.
The number of amperes offered at a camping site may seem decisive for energy consumption, but that is a misconception. Modern campers and caravans can adjust their power demand to the available capacity, keeping energy consumption consistent over 24 hours regardless of the number of amperes. Smart energy management systems, such as pay-as-you-go and simultaneity calculations, offer more efficient and sustainable solutions. In this blog, we explain why amperes are not a complete indicator and how you can gain better insight into energy consumption on your site using smart technology.
Sustainable energy management is essential for holiday parks to operate efficiently and save costs. In this article, we discuss three steps that parks can take to optimize their energy consumption: gaining insight into energy usage, smart control of devices, and preparing for future-proof infrastructure. With the support of RecraPlan, holiday parks can easily realize these steps and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In the world of recreation and tourism, accurate energy measurement is crucial for efficient and transparent business operations. The MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) plays a central role by ensuring that measuring instruments meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.

As an owner of a recreational business, you know better than anyone how important it is to provide your guests with a comfortable stay. Heated accommodations, hot water in sanitary buildings, and a pleasant swimming pool are not just luxury extras, but essential facilities that your guests expect. However, with the recent explosive increase in gas prices, the recreation sector is facing a major challenge: how can you continue to provide this comfort without energy costs skyrocketing?
As a recreation entrepreneur, you may wonder if it is still worthwhile to invest in solar panels for your business. With increasingly stricter feed-in tariffs and the possibility that feed-in may become even less attractive in the future, the payback period may indeed be longer than you are used to. However, even without benefiting from feed-in, there are advantages that make the investment in solar panels valuable. Here we discuss why solar panels are particularly relevant for recreation businesses right now.
You're ready to start with the mise-en-place and open the door of one of the freezers. To your shock, you see that the freezer is off, and you have no idea how long that's been the case. This means that the products in the freezer are likely thawed and you will have to throw them away. Unfortunately, this happens in many hospitality businesses, resulting in the waste of valuable products and money. How can you prevent this?

In the rapidly changing world of recreation businesses, energy management is becoming an increasingly important theme. The demand for electricity continues to rise, and many companies want to move away from gas and switch to more sustainable energy sources. These changes bring challenges, such as increased strain on your energy network and higher consumption costs. At RecraPlan, we understand that it is essential to monitor your energy consumption closely and implement optimizations to operate sustainably and cost-effectively.
