The market for leisure properties is benefiting from the willingness to travel and the increasing health awareness of the population. As a result more and more fitness and leisure parks are being built.
Those wishing to make money from this sector have to constantly adapt to new trends and carefully analyse the market. The number of sport studios in Germany has risen from 4,100 ten years ago to 6,500 now, and the turnover has likewise risen from DM1.6bn to DM5.3bn.
