The Camelback Lodge and Aquatopia Indoor Water Park opened on May 1st,
2015, in Tannersville, Pennsylvania. This water-park is considered as the
largest indoor water-park in the Northeast. Personally, I have never been to an
indoor water-park before, but I am very intrigued and inclined to visit one. This
new water-park and hotel will be a great tourist attraction for vacation goers
and leisure travelers. It offers 453 guest rooms and suites with plenty of
options to choose from. Not only will this attraction be successful, but it can
potentially give Tannersville, Pennsylvania more recognition and success for other
businesses around the area. For example, nearby restaurants or museums will
generate more business.
The
Camelback Lodge and Aquatopia Indoor Water-Park offers many activities for the
whole family like water slides, swimming pools, hot tubs, and other non water
activities such as an arcade, rock climbing, spas, and fitness centers. In
essence, this water-park has activities for the whole family to enjoy and for
all ages. There is also a restaurant where guests can enjoy a delicious meal. In
addition to all those great things, the place also has space to rent for
conventions or parties. This place is truly an all-in-one type deal. The good
thing about having an indoor water-park is that the air temperature is
controlled. For example, even during the winter, this hotel and water-park can
generate sales because the temperature inside could be warm, even though the
outside temperature is cold. Overall, this new attraction has me inclined to
take a nice vacation with my family any time of the year. I am sure this will
give the travel and tourism industry (as well as the hospitality industry in
general) great success.
Another
great win for residents in Tannersville, Pennsylvania, is that this new indoor
water-park and hotel will give residents more opportunities for employment. It
will have a great impact on the travel and tourism industry because it will
generate even more sales than it already has. The travel and tourism industry
also employs billions of people around the world. The industry is expanding and
will continue to expand and grow in success.
Do you
think this new hotel and indoor water-park will succeed or fail? Why? If you
ever been to an indoor water-park, what was your experience like? If you
haven’t been to an indoor water-park, are you inclined to visit one after
hearing what they have to offer?
