Tent sales bring cheers to traders during camping season

With the camping season gaining momentum, the demand for tents has spurred its sales in the Kingdom. The dip in temperature has also given a fillip to the camping season. According to Binu Radhakrishnan, the Manager (Administration) of Rahal Tent and Picnic Accessories, selling activities rise during the camping season as demand for tents increases. His shop is the only place in East Riffa area where tents are available.

To meet excessive demands, they have opened a temporary shop in Sakhir also. “During the camping season, most of the sales activities are handled from our Sakhir office. All the tenting items have been stored there. But Riffa office remains open throughout the year,” he said.

This year’s camping season started on October 25 and it will conclude on March 5. But the tent sellers remain busy in November and December.

Binu said that they had good business during Ramadan also. They usually fix tents for mosques during this Holy Month. On other occasions, they receive orders to fix tents for weddings. “But the beginning months of camping season are the busiest months for tent dealers.”
