On this week’s Good Morning Outdoors, Matt Whitermore and Alex Burkett cover the latest headlines shaping the outdoor travel space. A major public lands sell-off proposal has been removed from the House budget bill—a big win for access advocates.

Meanwhile, a Florida KOA campground is shutting down after being acquired for a state infrastructure project.

Hipcamp is ramping up its nationwide expansion to bring more campgrounds online, and we explore what’s happening with the wave of RV buyers from the COVID boom—are they sticking with it or moving on?

We also spotlight the ribbon cutting of Michigan’s Kona Hills Campground, dig into EOS Hospitality’s outdoor investment moves, and highlight a few top contenders in USA TODAY’s Best Glamping Spot awards.

It’s a packed episode full of movement, momentum, and key moments in the evolving outdoor hospitality industry.

In this week’s GMH EU, the crew dives into Spain’s summer tourism tension as the government cracks down on over 9,000 illegal short-term rentals in Catalonia and considers a steep VAT hike on STRs to combat housing shortages. Meanwhile, anti-tourism protests heat up across hotspots like the Canary Islands, and new travel rules now require non-EU visitors to show proof of insurance.

On the tech front, AI booking engines are evolving to offer real-time pricing and availability, potentially reshaping OTA models. We also spotlight Spain’s most affordable beach towns and a curated list of top-rated legal Airbnbs still worth booking.

This week on GMO, the crew looks ahead to Memorial Day adventures—Alex Burkett is planning a trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, while Matt Whitermore recently visited Ferncrest Promised Land for a franchise discovery day (shoutout to Ferncrest and Brian Linton!).

The team explores how wellness tourism continues to shape RV travel, with more parks offering yoga, meditation, and guided nature walks. A new Pilot/Campspot survey shows campers are favoring shorter trips to national parks and small towns within 200 miles.

We also unpack how the 2026 GMI requirements on new RVs are pressuring campgrounds to upgrade their infrastructure. Plus, we highlight Electric Outdoors’s off-grid glamping canopy, USA TODAY’s 10 Best campgrounds, and the booming overlanding trend showcased at Overland Expo West.

This week on GMH EU, Sarah Nan DuPre and Leo Walton break down the latest travel trend of “destination dupes,” as UK travelers look beyond the Mediterranean to lesser-known European gems like Albania and Montenegro.

They analyze the implications of this shift for short-term rental operators, particularly in emerging markets with less tourism infrastructure. Sarah and Leo also unpack Airbnb’s Q1 earnings and Booking.com’s continued gains in the STR sector, debating what Airbnb’s renewed hotel focus might mean for the platform's identity and growth strategy.

Plus, they explore the importance of professionalization in the STR industry in the face of major disruptions and discuss best practices for operators to stay resilient.
