10 Weeks to Summer
Summer is 10 weeks out. Your competitors are already locking in their next amenity play—and two trends are making the decision easy. Electric go-kart racing is turning unused floor space into high-margin adrenaline zones, while pickleball courts are converting faster than any resort amenity in a decade. Both are low-capex, high-return, and guests are actively searching for them. Here’s your insider look at what’s moving the needle this spring.
Picture a sleek trackside lounge—guests sipping craft cocktails between heats on a whisper-quiet electric circuit inside your entertainment wing. The indoor karting market hit $1.28 billion in 2024 and is racing toward $2.15 billion by 2032 at a 6.7% CAGR.[1] Electric karts now own 53.4% of the segment—zero emissions mean they work inside premium hospitality settings where gas karts never could. Operators report $50–75 per-visit spending with 40–60 minute dwell times, and corporate group bookings drive nearly 40% of revenue.
Takeaway: Bundle trackside VIP suites with F&B packages for $150+ group minimums—turning a single attraction into a full-evening anchor.
Resorts are converting tennis courts to pickleball faster than any amenity pivot in recent memory. The market hit $2.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $9.1 billion by 2034.[2] Hotel and resort facilities lead all sub-segments at 16.2% growth. Four courts fit on one tennis court, multiplying bookable sessions. Black Desert Resort unveiled 21 courts this spring.
Takeaway: Courtside F&B service is turning a $12 game into a $60+ per-guest experience.
