- 9:29very
- 9:29thin.
- 9:30So
- 9:31it's
- 9:31going
- 9:32to
- 9:32be
- 9:32really
- 9:32interesting
- 9:32the

- 9:33was
- 9:33going
- 9:34to
- 9:34really
- 9:34set
- 9:34the

- 9:43my
- 9:43first
- 9:44kick
- 9:44off.
- 9:44I

- 13:59Development
- 14:00and
- 14:00who

- 14:08rather
- 14:08than
- 14:09later,
- 14:09especially
- 14:09now
- 14:10that
- 14:10they've
- 14:10seen,
- 14:11I
- 14:11don't
- 14:11think
- 14:11prior
- 14:11to
- 14:12COVID,
- 14:13there
- 14:13was
- 14:13a
- 14:13sense
- 14:13in

- 14:24of
- 14:24other
- 14:24things
- 14:24like
- 14:24natural
- 14:25disasters.
- 14:25But
- 14:25I

- 14:28may
- 14:28be
- 14:28a
- 14:28need
- 14:29to
- 14:29pivot.
- 14:31I
- 14:31was
- 14:31just
- 14:31going
- 14:31to
- 14:31say
- 14:31the
- 14:32industries

- 14:32we've
- 14:32seen
- 14:33picking
- 14:34up,
- 14:34that
- 14:34as
- 14:34far

- 14:43obviously
- 14:43like
- 14:44the
- 14:44mobile
- 14:44home
- 14:44space.
- 14:45So
- 14:45we
- 14:45see.
- 14:46A
- 14:46lot
- 14:46of
- 14:46large
- 14:47companies

- 17:12entry
- 17:13that
- 17:13that
- 17:13really,
- 17:14they
- 17:14don't
- 17:14quite
- 17:15know
- 17:15how
- 17:15to
- 17:15tap

- 17:18but
- 17:18they're

- 17:18there.
- 17:19And
- 17:19they'll
- 17:19figure
- 17:20it
- 17:20out
- 17:20how
- 17:20to
- 17:21do
- 17:21but
- 17:21I
- 17:21think
- 17:21as
- 17:22Randy
- 17:22mentioned
- 17:22earlier,
- 17:23continuing
- 17:23to
- 17:23focus
- 17:24on
- 17:24the
- 17:24guest
- 17:24experience.
- 17:25I
- 17:25think
- 17:25that
- 17:26these
- 17:26glamping
- 17:26or
- 17:26these
- 17:27hotel
- 17:27companies
- 17:27that
- 17:28can
- 17:28get
- 17:28into
- 17:28the
- 17:28glamping
- 17:28space
- 17:29can
- 17:29do
- 17:29that
- 17:29really
- 17:29well.
- 17:30That's
- 17:30going
- 17:30to
- 17:30be
- 17:31what
- 17:31will
- 17:31help
- 17:31to
- 17:31set
- 17:32them
- 17:32apart,
- 17:33but
- 17:33they
- 17:33do
- 17:33have
- 17:34some
- 17:34catching
- 17:34up
- 17:34to
- 17:35do
- 17:35the
- 17:35big
- 17:35four.
- 17:36And
- 17:36I
- 17:36think
- 17:36this
- 17:36affects
- 17:36glamping
- 17:37certainly
- 17:37more
- 17:38than
- 17:38RV
- 17:38at
- 17:39this
- 17:39point.
- 17:40And
- 17:40Reuben,
- 17:40you
- 17:40might
- 17:40know
- 17:40this
- 17:41better
- 17:41than
- 17:41I,
- 17:41but
- 17:42isn't
- 17:42there
- 17:42a,
- 17:43I
- 17:43believe
- 17:43that
- 17:44maybe
- 17:44four
- 17:44seasons
- 17:45or
- 17:46one
- 17:46of
- 17:46the
- 17:46other
- 17:46higher
- 17:47end
- 17:47hotel
- 17:48companies
- 17:48have
- 17:49entered
- 17:49into
- 17:49the
- 17:49glamping
- 17:50space
- 17:50already
- 17:51on
- 17:51a
- 17:51small
- 17:52scale.
- 17:52So
- 17:52they're
- 17:53starting
- 17:53to
- 17:53get
- 17:54into
- 17:54the
- 17:54industry,
- 17:56never
- 17:56seen
- 17:56it
- 17:56definitely
- 17:57on
- 17:57the
- 17:58private
- 17:58equity
- 17:59side
- 17:59of
- 17:59it
- 17:59and
- 17:59keeping
- 18:00it
- 18:00a
- 18:00little
- 18:01bit
- 18:01arms
- 18:01length
- 18:02with
- 18:02their
- 18:02portfolio
- 18:03hospitality
- 18:03companies.
- 18:05For
- 18:05that
- 18:05reason
- 18:05of
- 18:05the
- 18:05barrier
- 18:06of
- 18:06entry.
- 18:06I
- 18:06think
- 18:06the
- 18:07easiest
- 18:07analogy
- 18:07is
- 18:08almost
- 18:08because
- 18:09lamping
- 18:09and
- 18:09outdoor
- 18:10hospitality
- 18:10is
- 18:10still
- 18:10nascent
- 18:11compared
- 18:11to
- 18:11the
- 18:11hotel.
- 18:13Obviously
- 18:14it's
- 18:14the
- 18:14whole
- 18:14mining
- 18:15for
- 18:15gold
- 18:16analogy
- 18:16and
- 18:17where
- 18:17the
- 18:18hotels
- 18:18I
- 18:18think
- 18:18are
- 18:18still
- 18:19looking
- 18:19and
- 18:20those,
- 18:20the
- 18:20money
- 18:20that's
- 18:20actually
- 18:21backing
- 18:21it
- 18:22is
- 18:22still
- 18:22looking
- 18:23at
- 18:23like,
- 18:24all
- 18:24right,
- 18:24we
- 18:24don't
- 18:25necessarily
- 18:26going
- 18:26out
- 18:26there
- 18:26mining
- 18:26for
- 18:27gold.
- 18:27Not
- 18:27necessarily
- 18:28that
- 18:28they
- 18:28want
- 18:28to
- 18:28sell
- 18:28the
- 18:28pickaxes
- 18:29and
- 18:29the
- 18:29pans
- 18:30to
- 18:30gold
- 18:30or
- 18:31anything,
- 18:31but
- 18:31they're
- 18:31just
- 18:31waiting
- 18:32and
- 18:32saying,
- 18:32all
- 18:32right,
- 18:33you
- 18:33guys
- 18:33go
- 18:33out
- 18:33there,
- 18:33you
- 18:34guys
- 18:34mind,
- 18:34and
- 18:35then
- 18:35we'll
- 18:35see
- 18:35what
- 18:35you
- 18:35guys
- 18:36uncover.
- 18:36And
- 18:37then
- 18:37we'll
- 18:37have
- 18:37the
- 18:37money
- 18:38at
- 18:38the
- 18:38end
- 18:38of
- 18:38the
- 18:38day
- 18:39to
- 18:39wrap
- 18:39everybody
- 18:39together.
- 18:40But
- 18:40they're

- 18:40trying
- 18:41to
- 18:41see
- 18:42what's

- 18:42there.
- 18:42They
- 18:42just
- 18:43don't
- 18:43for
- 18:43them.
- 18:44Remember,
- 18:44it's
- 18:44always,
- 18:45it's
- 18:45easier
- 18:45for

- 18:46to
- 18:46move
- 18:48the
- 18:48millions
- 18:48of
- 18:49dollars
- 18:49versus
- 18:49$50
- 18:50million.
- 18:51They're
- 18:51waiting
- 18:51for
- 18:52it
- 18:52to
- 18:52get
- 18:52a
- 18:52little
- 18:52bit
- 18:53bigger
- 18:53or
- 18:53for
- 18:54them
- 18:54to
- 18:54just
- 18:54do
- 18:54a
- 18:54larger
- 18:55and
- 18:55then
- 18:55consolidation.
- 18:57And
- 18:57they're
- 18:57just,
- 18:57they
- 18:57don't
- 18:57really

- 18:59or
- 18:59the
- 18:59resources
- 19:00to
- 19:01start
- 19:01mining
- 19:01for
- 19:02that
- 19:02goal
- 19:02to.
- 19:05So
- 19:05how
- 19:05do
- 19:05they
- 19:05take
- 19:06this?
- 19:06And
- 19:06this
- 19:06is

- 19:28changed
- 19:29appreciably.
- 19:29So

- 19:30few
- 19:30years
- 19:30ago,
- 19:31everybody
- 19:31talked
- 19:31about

- 21:54even
- 21:55in

- 21:59So
- 21:59we're
- 21:59already
- 21:59seeing
- 22:00this
- 22:00kind
- 22:00of

- 24:12the
- 24:12only
- 24:12real
- 24:13hiccup
- 24:13to

- 24:14major
- 24:14chain.
- 24:15Like
- 24:15a
- 24:15hotel

- 24:41It's
- 24:41why
- 24:41Koa
- 24:42so
- 24:42successful.
- 24:43They

- 24:52play,
- 24:52right?
- 24:52That

- 42:40it
- 42:40the
- 42:40way

- 47:02my
- 47:02business.
- 47:02And
- 47:03so
