Benefits of APT®

Tourist parks around Australia have seen significant changes in the past 10 years, including an upward trend in average park turnover as the result of increased and improved cabin accommodation in tourist parks. This in turn has lead to new market entrants and increased competition for tourist park operators. APTŪ gives tourist park businesses an edge, helping you to stay competitive.

Some of the benefits and features of APT include:

• Compare your tourist parks against industry standards
  One of the most exciting features of APTŪ is its benchmarking capabilities. This will allow users to find out how their tourist park is performing compared to industry averages across a range of areas including:
  • occupancy costs
  • repairs and maintenance
  • salary costs
  • profits and more
  Armed with this information, tourist park owners and managers can quickly identify the areas of their park that are underperforming and by how much. This information is available exclusively to paid subscribers of APTŪ.
  
  
• Quickly compare the effect of small changes in variables
  APTŪ will allow you to create up to five different versions of analysis for your tourist park business. This means that you can very quickly and confidently compare 'what if' scenarios on efficiency or profitability. For example, you can calculate the cost savings of reducing cleaning costs by 1%, 2% or 3% or the net profit impact of increasing the number of cabins in your park by 5%.
  
  
• Help setting tariffs
  At BDO, we understand this can be one of the most difficult (and time consuming) decisions that needs to be made in tourist park businesses. That is why we have developed the APTŪ Tariff Reckoner which allows you to set up to four different tariff rates to reconcile back to your average nightly tariff.
  
  
• Cost-effective decision support tool
  As an owner or manager of a tourist park, there are many demands on your financial resources. BDO has designed APTŪ in a way that it is easy for us to administer and maintain and that means, we can pass on the savings to you. The cost of APT® is $264, for a 12 month licence, with $110 per annum payable for future years. Special rates apply for members of Top Tourist Parks of Australia.
  
  
• Calculations are specific to your tourist park
  APTŪ utilises the data you input to calculate the impact of decisions on your tourist park. This means the calculations you see are specific to your park - giving you the best possible understanding of the impact of your decisions on the performance of your business. In less than 30 mins, you can have your tourist park set up and begin accessing the decision making benefits of APTŪ in your tourist park business. What's more, because your information is kept secure on our server, you do not need to re-input key data each time. Simply access your park profile and alter the variables to explore a new range of options!
  
  
• Convenient at-call web-based access
  With APTŪ, there is no need for large software files to take up valuable space on your computer. Access to the program is simple and secure and because the program you access is maintained by us, you do not need to remember to download updates - as new features are added, they will automatically be available to you.
