ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Unlocking Revenue Through Outdoor Accommodations
Original air date: Dec 10, 2025
The outdoor hospitality market is evolving at record speed, and the operators who understand what today’s traveler wants are capturing the lion’s share of new revenue.
Whether you’re a campground, boutique hotel, ranch, retreat center, short-term rental operator, or a landowner looking to expand, this session will give you the data, direction, and competitive context you need to invest wisely.
Key takeaways
- Outdoor accommodations are now mainstream, with strong repeat and future demand—this is no longer a niche side play.
- Bathrooms, space for the whole family, views, and privacy are top booking drivers—and guests will pay more for them.
- Guests pick the destination first, so your marketing must sell the surrounding food, nature, and experiences, not just the unit.
- Many units are overpriced for the mass market—opt for guest-driven designs, tiered price points, and simple ROI boosters like welcome kits and smart amenities.
