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.

In this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Brandreth Canaley are joined by Phocuswright’s Madeline List to unpack the newly released “U.S. Short-Term Rentals 2025: Guest Attitudes and Decision Making” report.

We explore the shifting expectations of today’s travelers, especially the under-35 segment that’s showing growing skepticism toward the STR category.

Madeline walks us through why travelers are comparing rentals and hotels more than ever, the true impact of bad PR on booking decisions, and what the STR sector must do to compete on service, professionalism, and design.

Whether you’re an operator, host, or vendor, this conversation is a must-listen to understand the next phase of guest decision-making in short-term rentals.
