Turner said: "Over the years I have been frustrated by other attractions trying to copy our concept and not succeeding. Farmers often don't have the experience or business acumen to diversify successfully and family management usually hampers objective business decision making.

"I would like to use our 25 years of experience to develop new attractions, using our values, systems and operational knowledge - either organically, a joint venture or a franchise model to the right operator. The sites we are looking for would ideally be a failing or underperforming farm attraction at the moment with the infrastructure already in place."
