Hi All
I was hoping for the Forum’s help. I’ve been talking with Ivar about developing pilgrim support services. At present the Camino Travel Centre offer a range of services, including hostel booking, but we were wondering what the demand is likely to be for additional support services? Perhaps, together with hostel booking, there is a need for daily luggage transfers? (I believe luggage transfer services are offered locally already). In addition, could the proximity of a vehicle (for luggage transfer) provide extra services: an emergency channel to contact pilgrims ‘on the road’; provide water or other supplies midway through the day; a way of being moved off the Camino should injury force abandon; language support services (an English-Spanish speaker on hand to help) or, for cyclists, the transport of spares and / or tools?
These are just ‘off the top of the head’ ideas for now, but we’re really interested in the views of the Forum. Would there be demand for both luggage transfer and additional services (or similar) and how much do you think pilgrims would be willing to pay? Your ideas and thoughts would be much appreciated. With thanks.
