“Deyor is cementing an underlying business around providing quality outdoor accommodation for adventure travel while operating in a monopolistic nature in this sector. We are just a few days away from launching a technology platform, which will make booking camping trips as simple as booking a hotel room, hence, structuring a highly fragmented sector. We will have a dedicated team at Deyor, who will serve the requests received from TBO and to ensure transactions smoothly,” said Chirag Gupta, Co-founder, Deyor Camps.
The startup also aims at expanding into the neighbouring South and South-East asian market to leverage the demand for alternate accommodation. Deyor has signed 3-year exclusive contracts with all over 100 main campsites in 45 locations and additional 75 campsites over the next month. The target is to have 300 campsites by end of the year and also additional supply by aiding the process of establishing campsites in new locations.
Deyor Camps is solving three main problems associated with camping in today's scenario -
1) Discoverability
They have an active team focusing on discovering new and exciting places in the remotest corners of the country. In addition to the mainstream locations they focus on areas that have not yet been commercialised and still maintain their authentic country charm.
2) Trust and Reliability
Their advance team ensures a thorough verification of all their camp locations. They vet all prospective sites for safety, basic amenities and outdoor activities as promised by the site operators.
3) Standardised Superior Quality and Predictable Experience
They firmly believe that aggregating without controlling the experience is forming an incomplete loop, in the service industry, the provider has to take the onus of ensuring the service delivered is spot on and is as promised.
