Top Tourist Parks now Topparks....apparently.
Permalink  

We recently booked a site at Miami beach (not our choice BTW) and found that it is a "Topparks" member however it used to be a "Top Tourist Park" member. 

We have current membership to TT but wonder if TP is the same company - their address is the in S.A. as was TT but maybe they were bought out?

Call to the park resulted in 'don't know' and a google search for 'top tourist park' led to 'topparks' and no 'top tourist parks'...they exist no more.

Anyone have any clues.

 

Regards

Gday...

I think it was about 12 months or so that Top Tourist Parks changed to Top Parks, with three 'arms' - Top Caravan Parks, Top Holiday Parks and Top Resort Parks.

If you were a member of Top Tourist Parks then you are automatically a member of the Top Parks group.

It is the same mob and I am astounded that the Miami park did not know their "heritage" to the former Top Tourist Parks organisation.

I am a Top Tourist Park member and when I renewed my membership in July, I got a new card with Top Parks.

Cheers - John

Gday...

I just dug out my copy of the Top Parks Guide for 2016.

The CEO's message in the front cover states -

"We have moved from Top Tourist Parks to Top Parks and brightened our logo.
Actually, that should be logos, because now there are three representing the different types of parks and facilities."

I can't remember when the change actually happened but I think if not at the beginning of 2016, then late in 2015.

Cheers m- John

Thanks for the updates - our last renewal was in Sept 2015 and it was still TT then - that's good as we'll get our discount!

They could do better with their members. When travelling this year, we lost our membership card and the caravan bloke would not look up our membership on the computer without a $5 fee and an additional fee for another card. I checked this with their head office and that is their policy.I am happy to pay the fee for a replacement card, but $5 to check membership is over the top
