Travelodge ‘pods’ target festival-goers

After the scenes from Glastonbury and many other music festivals around Britain this year, an opportunity in the market arose. Travelodge have tried solving the problem of comfortable accomodation by releasing a prototype mobile hotel room, known as Travelpods. The budget hotel chain concept aims to bring luxury camping to festival-goers at a trial price of £26.
The pods, 6m by 6.4m are clear polycarbonate boxes that will be delivered to sites complete with luxury double beds, en suite bathrooms, heating, air conditioning and a flat screen TV.
The Travelpod aims to redefine accessibility by bringing the room to where the people are. A great idea which I could definitely see working as many festival goers see sleeping in the rough as something of the past.
