The owners of CAW have passed on this message before but are still being asked about whether this is true on their current trip around part of Oz (they met up with Jules and some others in Broome recently).
This is an extract from their latest newsletter;
It seems that the "Camps has been sold to Big 4" rumour is still going strong, we have been approached many times by travellers re this.
IT IS NOT TRUE! - we haven't sold the our business to anyone & Camps7 is not the last one ever! Our Camps 8th Edition will be available mid Feb 2015 , so please fell free to tell all your fellow travellers we still own and run the business, and the Happy Hour tale is just that.
Even if Camps Australia Wide was to be sold to Big 4 or anyone else who may have a vested interest in terminating it, or altering its ideals, it wouldn't help their cause all that much. There are now so many alternatives to CAW already in the marketplace and these are being added to on an almost daily basis. I'm looking forward to the new edition next year as my Camps 7 is starting to look a bit dog eared.
