XPLORE for Glamping & Ecotourism
Build it right. Get found. Stay booked.
Five growth engines for glamping destinations, eco-resorts and outdoor stays, from the first build phase to a full calendar.
The shift
How guests find a stay has changed
1 in 2+
Guests ask AI first
More than half of US travelers have used AI tools to plan trips. Places AI can’t read don’t get recommended.
OTAs
Margin leaks to middlemen
Without a direct-booking engine you pay commission on guests you could reach yourself.
Lean
Small teams, many jobs
The same few people run the website, outreach, reviews and every new build phase.

The opportunity
A growing market, where every new site is a job site first
$1.79B
North American glamping market by 2035
Up from $771.5M in 2025, about 8% a year. The US is $682M of today’s total.
1,034
US construction worker deaths in 2024
About one in five US workplace deaths. Every build is a job site first.
