Can you afford not to be there? Exhibition manager Dan Wiseman explains why this year’s Glamping Show should not be missed.
The recent boom in domestic travel has seen a huge increase in business for glamping sites across the country. Are you maximising on the staycation opportunity? Can you afford to miss the latest information, products and solutions to diversify your assets?
The next two seasons are going to be crucial for the glamping industry. Glamping entrepreneurs need to stay abreast of all new developments – products, planning, compliance and more – in order to establish themselves firmly and maximise on an unprecedented opportunity.
The Glamping Show puts all of the latest products and services that the industry has to offer at your fingertips and takes out all of the hassle of finding trustworthy information by providing a panel of the most experienced and respected experts in the glamping sector to deliver the seminar programme.
For anyone who has, or is considering, a glamping business, The Glamping Show is an essential three days that will shape the future of your business. Discover the latest products and services, listen to the most respected experts in the industry, learn strategies and tactics to start and grow your business and share the experience and knowledge of your peers. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it at the Glamping Show!
“The Glamping show was instrumental in the process of setting up our business,” says Suzi Drew, owner of Belan Bluebell Woods. “The quality and diversity of stands were both incredibly visual and inspiring! Equally important was the opportunity to discuss our plans with those producers. We then had the opportunity to listen to expert talks and even a coffee break became networking with people from all over the UK. To have an event’ with everything you need for wherever your business is at is really special.”
The seminar programme will be led by industry experts who are willing to share their years of experience and knowledge. These invaluable talks will cover every aspect of running a glamping site, from the nitty gritty details of getting set up, to guides on how to offer world class customer service, and everything in between.
“The Glamping Show seminars really helped open our eyes to areas of operating a glamping business we hadn’t even thought of,” says Sarah Orchard, owner of The Hudnalls Hideout. “It was vital in our business research and planning. At the show, we were able to meet great suppliers and learn from existing operators to avoid costly set-up mistakes.”
The show team have made sure that every corner of the glamping sector is covered by the show. The event serves as a one-stop-shop for all of your glamping needs. So, no matter what stage your glamping business can you afford to miss the Glamping Show?
