UK: UK holiday park operator Vista Parcs Group has announced plans to list on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), with admission expected on 31 March 2026.
The company said it intends to acquire a portfolio of 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks as part of the listing, with a total consideration of £68.5 million.
The portfolio includes more than 1,700 pitches across sites located near coastal areas and market towns with additional development potential identified.
Vista Parcs said the strategy is focused on increasing unit sales, converting some holiday units into residential accommodation and expanding its sales function.
The company is targeting demand from the UK’s ageing population, citing growth in later-life housing needs alongside limited supply. According to the company, around 11 million people in England are aged 65 and over, with that number expected to rise in the coming decades.
It also pointed to ongoing demand for staycations and nature-based travel as supporting factors for the holiday park sector.
The business will be chaired by David Boden.
Vista Parcs said it expects to be cash generative and intends to pay a dividend within its first year following admission.
Alongside the IPO, the company has launched a retail investor offer via RetailBook, with the offer set to close on 24 March.
