An alliance that promises to reshape the hotel business on the Cote d'Azur

Oleh Chelpan from CIVILLY and Artur Lupashko from Mandra Glamping LLC have signed a memorandum of strategic partnership. They are teaming up to promote, develop and manage a glamping business on the French Riviera.

Civilly is Mandra Glamping’s representive in France and assists in concluding contracts and developing glamping sites according to Mandra and Ribas Hotels Group standards. Site selection, marketing, design, construction and equipment are all carried out on a mutual gains basis for every single project.

This alliance is expected to redefine the standards of quality and innovation in the field of ecotourism on the French Riviera by offering a new concept in the hotel business — glamping. This is overall a highlight that contributes to building long-term relations between Ukraine and France.

Civilly (engaged in designing, constructing and renovating hotels and private properties on the French Riviera) has signed a memorandum of strategic partnership with Mandra Glamping, a leading Ukrainian glamping operator founded by Ribas Hotels Group (28 properties under management, 26 properties under design and construction in Ukraine and worldwide. The room inventory has more than one thousand rooms in various forms of collaboration).

The agreement envisages the development of a new format for the region, a new perspective on the evolution of the hotel business — glamping that is an ideal solution for ecotourism! This alliance is set to revolutionize the way we think about quality and innovation.

Glamping, or “glamorous camping” (a combination of the words “glamor” and “camping”), is a modern vacation trend that combines the luxury of a hotel room with the beauty of nature. Guests are offered comfortable camping cabins furnished with everything you need for a rewarding stay, including beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom. However, the main advantage of glamping is the opportunity to enjoy picturesque natural landscapes and get a unique experience of merging with the environment.

The innovative concept from Mandra Glamping and Civilly involves not only building a modern turnkey glamping facility, but also providing further strategic management of the property. We offer investors a unique approach that includes design, construction, outfitting, sales and management. With a proven business model and a large team of specialists, we can accurately estimate the return on investment and anticipate customers’ needs. This integrated approach makes us a leading player in the glamping industry and secures stability and growth for all project participants.

Civilly's partnership with Mandra Glamping and Ribas Hotels Group is creating a synergy that will ensure a win-win situation for all those involved in the project. The formula of “design → construction → outfitting → sales → management” is a ready-made turnkey business. The very idea of glamping considerably shortens the time frame for implementing and generating revenue from this business. This is a great option for those who are just starting out in the hotel business, who want to invest in a current trend with good prospects, who are not eager to wait 7-10 years to earn income from their investments, who are not willing to put large funds into opening a hotel.

A glamping business gives you the opportunity to:

In fact, the time frame plays a crucial role in this process. Developing design solutions, sourcing materials and contractors and learning how booking systems work all take considerable time, delaying the project launch for months or even years. In this context, the partnership between Civilly and Ribas Hotels Group offers a ready-made business solution that has proven to work well for over 10 years.

One of the key points is the right design solutions and the corresponding infrastructure facilities that ensure the smooth operation of glamping and accordingly, the maximum benefit for the investor. In addition, occupancy is an esssential aspect. Unlike many first-time investors who are limited to booking systems such as Booking.com, our offer includes a variety of sales sources and effective customer acquisition schemes, including collaboration with travel companies and corporations to arrange events. Our investors also have access to social networks with 60.6 thousand subscribers. The total reach is 3 million 456 thousand and 205 thousand profile visits. Hence, we offer our investors many years of experience and best practices that guarantee a smooth start and stable profits.

Civilly's partnership with Mandra Glamping and Ribas Hotels is a major advantage for investors who have chosen to invest in the construction of glamping sites on the French Riviera.

First, this enables investors to gain access to proven and successful business models that will help them safely enter the market with an already established profile. Through cooperation with experienced partners, investors can avoid numerous mistakes, reducing risk and increasing the potential return on their investments.

Second, this partnership opens up access to expert knowledge of the local market and its specific features. We have a clear understanding of the requirements and preferences of customers on the French Riviera, which enables us to create glamping facilities that are perfectly tailored to local conditions and expectations. This increases the chances of a successful launch and stable operation of a glamping property, which ultimately provides investors with a steady and growing income from their investments.

To sum up, working with Civilly and Ribas Hotels ensures that investors not only have a robust and profitable business, but also gain access to cutting-edge innovations and expert knowledge, making their investments the most promising in the hospitality market.
