UK Campsites on Racecourses

Now surely NZ racecourses are suited for this purpose. Sensible way would be for the central authority to find say 10 possible racecourses and go through the processes of getting approval and setting up in bulk. Either lease out to existing businesses or have the club operate them. Seems quite popular in the UK. 

Racing can be a major player in the tourism industry in various ways.

Yes I remember staying down there in the accommodation house I suppose thats the old jockeys quarters. Beautiful racecourse.

The point I make is that centralizing business ventures across racecourses makes ventures viable whereas a club going alone doesn't.

Perhaps the expertise developed at Tauherenikau can be used elsewhere.

Plenty of possibilities.  Seems a culture amongst many that selling real estate in NZ is the only way.
