Print Communications for a Campsite or Holiday Accommodation: The Complete Guide

A campsite beside a Landes lake, a charming gîte in the Gers countryside, a hotel or a bed and breakfast tucked among the vineyards: all of them live by the rhythm of the season. In tourism, first impressions are often made before the guest even arrives, and then continue throughout the stay. Print communications are one of the pillars of that experience: they inform, guide, reassure and leave a lasting impression. Brochures at the tourist office, welcome signage, a site map, the activity leader's t-shirt: every piece counts. Here's how to build a complete set of print communications for your accommodation, and how to plan ahead of the high season.

Brochures, Leaflets and Maps: Informing Guests Before and During Their Stay

The brochure remains your establishment's paper shop window. Distributed at tourist offices, partner shops and trade fairs, it showcases your accommodation, your rates and your strengths with attractive photos. The lighter three-panel leaflet makes an excellent welcome handout for arrival. Also think about a site map: for a campsite or holiday village, a clear plan of the pitches, facilities, pool and reception saves everyone valuable time. Complement it with a small local tourist map highlighting nearby trails, markets and estates worth visiting. On the commercial print side, we cover brochures, leaflets, maps and booklets in every format.

Signage and Welcome Boards: Guiding Guests From the Entrance

A guest who finds their way easily is a guest whose stay starts well. Directional signage is essential across a large site: a welcome board at the entrance, arrows pointing to reception, the pool or the restaurant. For outdoor use, choosing the right material is crucial, as it has to withstand sun, rain and humidity all summer long. Favour materials that are weather- and UV-resistant:

• Rigid PVC or Dibond panels: sturdy and long-lasting, perfect for reception signage, house rules and instructions.
• PVC banners and bunting with eyelets: to announce the opening, a promotion or a seasonal event.
• Stickers and decals: numbering pitches and bungalows, marking safety instructions.
• Outdoor totems and A-boards: for the snack bar menu, pool opening times or the day's programme.

This large-format signage calls for genuine manufacturing and installation expertise. Our large-format and signage team designs your panels, signs and decals, with on-site installation available.

Activity Flyers, Posters and Roll-Up Banners: Bringing the Season to Life

Holiday accommodation also thrives on its activities: themed evenings, pétanque tournaments, farmers' markets, kids' clubs. To spread the word, nothing beats a well-placed event poster at reception and near the bar, and activity flyers left in every unit. In the common room, a roll-up banner showcases your services and the week's programme, and stores away easily from one season to the next. Counter A-boards, meanwhile, highlight excursions, bike hire or local tips worth knowing. Lightweight materials that give your establishment a lively, welcoming image.

Staff Clothing and Souvenir Gifts: Polishing Your Image and Extending the Stay

A recognisable team inspires confidence. Printed polo shirts, t-shirts or caps for reception staff, activity leaders and maintenance crew mean guests know straight away who to turn to. Depending on your quantities and the finish you're after, we offer heat-transfer printing, screen printing, embroidery or DTF, from a single item to a large run, across all your custom clothing. On the guest side, souvenir gifts extend the experience well after departure: a reusable water bottle or cup in the campsite's colours, a tote bag, a magnet or a keyring. Useful items that guests keep, and that keep your address in mind. We select and personalise a wide range of items to suit your budget and your volumes.

Planning Ahead and Showcasing Green Tourism in the Gers and Landes

The key to a successful season is planning ahead. Prepare your materials in advance: brochures and maps well before opening, outdoor signage and printed clothing even earlier, since production and drying both take time. Use the opportunity to showcase your surroundings: unspoilt countryside, cycle paths, walking trails, farmers' markets and Armagnac estates are all strong selling points. Green tourism in the Gers and Landes attracts guests looking for authenticity, and thoughtful, sustainable communications reinforce that positioning. As an independent business based in Manciet, in the heart of Armagnac country, we support accommodation providers across the region with a single point of contact from advice through to delivery.
