The highly anticipated second edition of the Glamping Americas State of the Industry Report will be unveiled at the Glamping Show Americas 2024, offering critical insights into the trends, challenges, and growth opportunities shaping the fast-evolving glamping industry.
Prepared by Cairn Consulting Group, the report will be presented by Scott Bahr, president of the firm, during the event’s educational sessions. The report will offer valuable insights into “business strategies, marketing, financial planning, and securing funding.”
“Included in the report is a review of the past year in terms of development, changes from the previous year(s), and trends. It also looks forward based on how those involved in the industry view the changing landscape, including barriers to growth, resources needed, guest expectations, innovations, key growth sectors, expansion, and type of growth,” the event’s website indicates.
The Glamping Show Americas, scheduled from October 1 to October 2, in Colorado, is set to offer valuable insights for both new and established glamping site operators. The two-day event, preceded by a pre-show workshop on September 30, will feature educational sessions and exhibitions. This annual gathering will equip attendees with practical strategies and tools to elevate their businesses.
Event organizer David Korse highlighted the importance of the event. “We’re seeing the same positive trend on the exhibitor/sponsor side of things. We still have more than 3 months before the show opens, and we already have more than 110 exhibitors from 11 countries (so far) around the world to showcase their unique products and services,” Korse told Modern Campground.
For newcomers, the Glamping Business Basics workshop on September 30 will provide hands-on training to help aspiring operators turn their ideas into successful ventures. The workshop will cover essential areas such as business planning, financing, and legal considerations.
The Indoor/Outdoor Expo, another feature of the Glamping Show Americas, will showcase a variety of structures, products, and services designed to enhance glamping operations. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore innovative solutions that can improve their guest offerings and operational efficiency.
Networking opportunities will also play an important role in the event, allowing attendees to connect with fellow professionals from across the globe. These interactions are valuable for exchanging ideas, and fostering relationships that can drive future business growth.
The Glamping Show Americas will also delve into the integration of advanced technologies, including the use of AI and data analytics to optimize operations and improve guest experiences.
Since its inception, the Glamping Show Americas has seen significant growth, with an increase in attendees, exhibitors, and exhibition space. From 2019 to 2022, the event quadrupled its net square footage, tripled its attendees, and doubled the number of exhibitors. Trade Show Executive magazine also recognized the 2022 event as one of the Fastest 50 trade shows in the U.S.
