Glamping Vacations have grown 300% in one year

Okay, so today on Saturday, something slightly different this week I've obviously been going through some free training that we've been doing and hosts are now cracking on with some homework over the weekend. But I wanted to just revert back to what a normal podcast would look like and I want to give you and share with you some insider industry news. And this is really good news for anybody that is in a rural location or does glampin. Glamping is of course glamorous. Camping, yurts, lodges, you name it. That is what glamping covers. This. The latest results out there show that there's been a 300 increase in the past year with people wanting to stay in a unique experience. So for anybody who has a glamping property on a farm, stay location, anything like that, you really, really need to be putting your prices up. The demand is so high right now. So if you haven't acted already and even if you may have some availability coming up, really put the prices up and you will be still be getting those bookings. Do not be afraid to put your rates up also as well talk about it on social media. If it's something that is so popular, then the activity on keywords around glamping or unique stays are going to be high as well. If you can get a post or a story or a something out there and using those hashtags you will become visible again. What else can you be doing to be in front of the traffic? You can be number one going looking at Facebook groups for really good for last minute bookings. If you still need inquiries and dates to fill this summer, this is where you need to use the OTAs. So go to your listings, update your amenities, update your title, change the picture around, make it more unique and standout able because the demand is so high right now. So that's my big tip for today, very very focused on the amazing people who do glamping properties. Whatever your business model falls under there, tiny houses, you name it, go and make your property stand out. Put your prices up and shout out about it online and save it. You have got last minute availability. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the rate and the booking and the amount that you can get. And you know the beauty of it is is if you do this correctly, you're really proactive. It'll be a direct booking as well. If you need to use the OTAs, they're there to help. So as always, I'm popping up every single day, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram audio version, written version to help you not only survive the past year, but thrive on the other end. So stick around if you want more of this. Subscribe, download, share, tell a friend, tell a host, explain to it about it. My goal is to help 1 million hosts increase their direct bookings, and I can't do that by myself. So I need you to help share this video. Share it with a Facebook group yourself or LinkedIn group, or just email it to a host. That's all you can do. So every single day, my goal in 2021 is to upload a daily podcast episode. I'm not going to lie, we're six months in and and it is torture. But I'm doing this because I set the goal at the start of the year and I'm going to do my darnedest to make sure that I can stick with it for the rest of 2021. So please join me for the ride. It's the best thing that I have done is the hardest thing, but it's the best thing. The amount of messages, the amount of views, the amount of new people that are reaching out to me is phenomenal. And if you're ready to take the next step and you want to find out more about what I'm doing and boost Lee with the academy, with the coaching, with the websites, with the content creation, just go to boostle.co.uk and you can start your journey there.
