Starting a glamping business is damn hard. You've got to worry about zoning, permits, feasibility, suppliers, groundworks and everything in between. And that's before you even think about how you actually attract guests to your site. Glampitect are the recognised glamping experts, having owned two sites ourselves and set up over 20 more for our clients. We know what it takes to set up and run a successful glamping business. We've started this podcast to share the knowledge we've accumulated over the years, along with guest experts from all aspects of the glamping site setup process. If you're thinking of starting a glamping business, you'd be crazy not to listen.
