Would you go au naturel?
Who would have thought there was so much money to be made from letting it all hang out?
A 70-year-old nudist who set up Britain’s biggest naturist tour operator, Peng Travel, has sold the business he founded in 1971 for £1.8 million.
Travelzest, which is listed on the Alternative Investment Market, was the buyer of Peter Englert’s company and plans to develop this niche market.
Apparently, there are hundreds of thousands of naturists in the UK but I’m interested to know if this number is growing. Are naturists that way inclined from an early age, or is it something you can just get into?
One thing I know for certain (because colleagues of mine have written articles on the subject) is that there is nothing sexual about it and the trips are not for men who really like to keep their clothes on, but imagine it would be fun to holiday with naked models.
In reality, naturists come in all ages and sizes and it can be a bit disconcerting to bump into a naked and portly middle-aged member of the opposite sex at the cheese counter of the supermarket, if you’re not used to that kind of thing.
