Article Abstract:
Contractors and developers are looking to the leisure sector, feeling that rents are lower, planning consent is easier to acquire than for retail developments and reasonable returns can be achieved on the sites. The leisure boom has meant that more companies are moving into the sector without having an real knowledge of it. However leisure depends on disposable income and the range and quality of facilities, costs of which can run into millions. Leisure operators therefore need to choose areas that are lacking in competing facilities, be able to adapt to new trends and provide good access and parking facilities.

Article Abstract:
It has become extremely common in the leisure industry for attractions to have a clear theme. In some cases, the theme is meaningless, particularly if it is used in an effort to revive a failing attraction. It is vital that leisure operators are aware that a theme will only be really successful if it offers some form of human connection and allows people to identify with what they really care about. Quality of service should be the main consideration for all leisure operators, regardless of theme.
