I have returned from the Glamping Show Americas feeling inspired and re-energised, with lots of resources in my back pocket. One of those was the results of the significant glamping market consultation shared at the Glamping Show Americas by Cairn Consulting Group.

This consultation exercise, completed in partnership with the Glamping Show Americas, highlighted the level of demand in the industry, optimism levels amongst current operators, and key findings essential for those planning to start this style of outdoor hospitality.

As more people experience glamping, their level of expectations change. The research demonstrates how operators need to elevate the level of amenities they provide to compete in the industry as it develops over the coming years. This is being fueled by increasing expectations from guests and illustrates the customer profile entering the industry and increasing the market share of this hospitality niche. The consultation also measures operational profit expectations for startups and how they have secured early and ongoing investments for growth.

This is a fascinating piece of consultation that the Glamping Show Americas and Cairn Consultation Group plan to repeat over time to measure ongoing trends in the industry as they happen.
