18 Jul 2022The #1 Thing to Check Before Starting a Glamping Business00:38:25

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.

31 Jul 2024What Sets Apart the Top 5% of Operators? (P.S. We've Revamped the Podcast)01:10:00

Welcome to the first episode of The Unique Hospitality Podcast, formerly known as The Start A Glamping Business Podcast!

We've revamped the format, with fewer interviews and more deep discussion on the important issues, ideas and challenges in glamping and unique hospitality. You'll hear more from previous guests that have provided the most value, and we think this will help us uncover more gold nuggets than ever before.

For the first episode of the new format, we welcome back Bygnal Dutson of Open Sky in Zion. We discuss what's changed at Open Sky since his last appearance; what we think separates the top 5% of glamping operators from the rest; and we end up grilling Bygnal for all his guest experience secrets.

If you've not listened to an episode for a while, we suggest you give this one a chance.

21 Aug 2024Hands-On vs Hands-Off Hospitality - Ben Wolff and Irene Wood Debate00:55:31

Ben Wolff and Irene Wood are two of the most successful entrepreneurs in the boutique glamping / unique stay space. Despite their similar results, their models of hospitality couldn't be more different.

At Onera (Ben's landscape hotel), guests won't see any on-site staff for the duration of their stay. It's all about that privacy and seclusion. At The Fields (Irene's glamping site), staff will have a ton of interaction with guests, with community a centrepiece of the experience.

We dive into both approaches; the pros and cons of each; and discuss which model might work best for you.

30 Oct 2024From Getaway to Nude Campsites - The Story of Topos Ventures01:17:40

There's a growing class of glamping consultants that cut their teeth at the venture-backed brands like Getaway (now Postcard Cabins) and AutoCamp. The experiences they gained from scaling high-end hospitality quickly equipped them with a wide range of skills that they take into client projects today.

Samuel Morton and Nico Turek from Topos Ventures are great examples of this. Sam joined Getaway when they had 3 cabins, and by the time he left they'd rolled out 800+ units across the US.  Nico joined not long after Sam, and he spearheaded their property acquisition strategy.

Sam and Nico are true industry experts, and they joined us to share a wealth of knowledge. We cover everything from finding off-market land deals to the age-old debate of unit volume vs space.
