Keynote Speaker: Consumer Trends in the Outdoor Hospitality Industry
An estimated 13 million U.S. households planned to camp more in 2017 than they did in 2016, and more than 1 million new households have started camping each year since 2014. We will take a look at the trends, demographics, ethnicity, behaviors and motivations that drives this growth.
How do the changing trends and times affect people’s values and attitudes? This session will explore what motivates people to make travel and life decisions. We will examine the key findings and trends based on Daniel Levines’s ground breaking research on current trends and the results of the 2017 North American Camping Report.
