Welcome to The Glamping Business Round-Up with Vicki Jones and John Maddy, brought to you in association with the Glamping Industries Trade Association (GITA). This is the podcast where we dive into all things glamping—sharing industry insights, real stories, and practical tips to help you run a successful site. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned owner, we’re here to give you the ideas and inspiration you need.

In this episode, Vicki and John get into the nitty-gritty of upsells and finding extra revenue streams for your glamping site. From comparing their honesty shops (and discovering just how “honest” guests really are) to what sells best, they share plenty of real-life examples. They also break down the key licenses you’ll need—like selling alcohol or securing food hygiene ratings—and why it’s worth doing things properly.

The conversation also covers upsells on your booking engine, including hampers and merch, and explores other clever revenue ideas, like offering a hot tub pre-light service or even adding washing and drying machines on-site.

If you’ve ever wondered how to boost your bottom line without adding more accommodation, this episode is packed with practical inspiration you can put into action right away.

Thanks so much for listening.
