How much more can you charge per night when you have ensuite bathrooms vs shared bathrooms? How much are glamping businesses that offer food and beverage able to charge compared to self-catered sites?

Today, we're joined by Connor Schwab of Sage Outdoor Advisory. Connor and the team at Sage produce feasibility studies for prospective and existing glamping operators, and through this they've gathered a huge amount of data on the glamping industry.  They've also just collaborated on a massive industry report with Kampgrounds of America, and in this episode Connor talks us through the key findings and what they mean for your glamping project.

The first thing you should do when starting the glamping site setup journey is to check your zoning, yet it's a stage that's overlooked by so many people. Those people are making a huge mistake.

Knowing how your land is zoned provides the foundation for everything that follows. Doing some basic zoning checks will lead to one of two outcomes: (1) You increase your chances of acquiring a permit for your glamping site tenfold; or (2) you realise that glamping isn't possible on your land and you save yourself a ton of wasted time and money.

In the first episode of the North American version of this podcast, we're joined by Nick Labadie. Nick has 17 years of experience in the zoning game, and he distills all those years of wisdom into one conversation. Listen for a step-by-step guide to checking your zoning, Nick's top tips when speaking to county planners and more.

Glampitect North America offer the turnkey solution for starting a glamping business in the US and Canada. Through zoning checks, feasibility studies, permit applications and more, we move your glamping project from conception to completion.
