In the peak season of year 1, given the current expected occupancy, we anticipate that the workload will be equivalent to the engagement of three additional full-time employees (FTEs) on top of our own contribution. An FTE represents one full-time position, which means that multiple part-time employees can collectively contribute to a full FTE. Over five years, we anticipate this need to grow to nine FTEs during the busiest periods. In the startup phase, we have engaged our family and friends to help out during the initial summers.

In our staff planning, we employ a flexible and adaptive model based on zero-hour contracts. This strategy enables us to dynamically respond to the changing needs of our enterprise. By utilizing zero-hour contracts, we can precisely align staffing levels with demand, thereby maintaining operational efficiency while optimizing costs.

We are still in the exploratory phase regarding the balance between paid staff and volunteers. The idea is to have some tasks performed by volunteers, where, for example, couples can stay at the campsite for free in exchange for their assistance with various tasks. This concept is common at naturist campsites and we see it as a win-win for both parties. For paid positions, we are looking at a mix of local Italian staff, due to favorable labor costs and availability, and students who, like we did once, want to gain valuable work experience while enjoying a holiday job at the campsite.
