For a rural tourism business in Eastern Europe, welcoming guests means offering more than a place to stay. Surrounded by forests and natural landscapes, the property combines comfortable accommodation, locally produced food and opportunities to experience life on a working farm.

Visitors can spend time outdoors, discover the surrounding nature and explore the property’s poultry farm. These experiences are part of what makes the destination appealing to people looking for a different pace of life.

As the business continued to develop its offering, the team identified an opportunity to introduce a new activity that would complement the existing guest experience.

Adding something new to the experience

The idea was straightforward: acquire an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) that would allow visitors to explore the surrounding countryside through outdoor excursions.

The vehicle would offer an additional activity across different seasons, giving guests another way to enjoy the natural setting.

For the business, however, introducing the service required an investment in equipment. The owners wanted to move forward before the tourist season while preserving the working capital needed for everyday operations.

Finding a practical financing solution

To support the purchase, the business turned to MK Leasing, one of MK Global Kapital’s leasing portfolio companies.

Timing was an important consideration. The owners needed access to the equipment without a lengthy delay, allowing them to prepare the new activity for the upcoming tourist season.

Through a leasing arrangement, the business was able to acquire the ATV while managing its available financial resources.

Rather than committing a substantial amount of working capital to a single purchase, the owners could focus on introducing the new experience alongside their existing hospitality and farming activities.

More opportunities to explore

Today, the ATV is available to guests, adding another dimension to their countryside stay.

Alongside accommodation, farm visits and locally produced food, visitors now have the opportunity to explore the surrounding landscape through a different kind of outdoor activity.

The addition reflects the business’s approach to developing its services: building on what already makes the destination distinctive while introducing experiences that respond to visitors’ interests.

Supporting practical business decisions

For smaller tourism businesses, developing a new service can begin with a specific investment in equipment.

In this case, access to leasing through MK Leasing supported a practical decision to expand the range of activities available to guests.

The story illustrates how financing provided by a company within MK Global Kapital’s portfolio can support entrepreneurs as they put their business plans into practice.

For this rural tourism operator, the result is a new experience that complements the property’s existing character and gives visitors another way to enjoy the countryside.
