The Hooton Retreat is a premium glamping and eco-tourism site in Negeri Sembilan. 

By leveraging its direct adjacency to a permanent forest reserve, the business positions itself as a distraction-free destination for high-spending tourists and corporate leadership teams.

Founded in September 2018, the completely bootstrapped operation has scaled to generate 7-figure annual revenues and was recently recognised by Tourism Malaysia as a primary touristic highlight in the state.

Founder Bryan Gan joins us to discuss the capital efficiency required to build a glamping site, the operational challenges of executing massive outdoor festivals, and the strategic roadmap to position the entire brand for a high-value acquisition within the next five years.
