CROWN AND CANOPY NOW IS GLAMPING’S TIME
NOT THE TIME TO HOLD BACK
An insightful interview with Crown and Canopy Co-founder Edward Busby about how some glamping sites have capitalised on the last year and how yours can too.
Jumping straight in, Edward explains that this is not the time to be complacent and that operators need to make this period of change work for their sites. Self-catered accommodation and holidays-inisolation are at the top of the travel requirements and at the same time government guidelines are openly endorsing these boutique stays. Despite this, for many sites, it has been a blessing and a curse.
Glamping operators have found themselves in a unique position as a result of Covid 19 and Lockdown. Where the main selling points of glamorous camping, namely the isolation, privacy and boutique accommodation have made them the ideal option for staycations in the UK.
Although many glamping sites, when able to operate, have been very busy over the last year, they have also had to adhere to strict protocols for guest safety that has cost time and money. And, as for sites with shared facilities, some have found it difficult to operate.
To highlight what has happened and how operators can make the most of this opportunity, we caught up with the leading glamping consultants, Crown and Canopy and spoke with co-founder Edward Busby. This is glamping’s time.
