- 5:02or
- 5:02Canada
- 5:02or
- 5:02in
- 5:02Mexico.
- 5:03My
- 5:04first
- 5:04question

- 5:07certainly
- 5:07you
- 5:07can
- 5:07take
- 5:07it.
- 5:07Miguel
- 5:08too.
- 5:08But
- 5:08how
- 5:08do
- 5:08you
- 5:09prepare
- 5:09to
- 5:09take
- 5:10advantage

- 5:20they
- 5:20would
- 5:20normally
- 5:20be
- 5:21for
- 5:21a
- 5:21non
- 5:22spectacular
- 5:23event
- 5:23such
- 5:23as
- 5:23that.
- 5:24But

- 5:25keeps
- 5:25rising
- 5:26and
- 5:26prices
- 5:26keep

- 5:27be
- 5:28underpricing
- 5:28yourself
- 5:29even
- 5:29though

- 5:34tackle
- 5:34those
- 5:35two
- 5:35questions?
- 5:38I'm
- 5:38happy

- 5:39With
- 5:40respect
- 5:40to
- 5:40the
- 5:40pricing
- 5:41question,
- 5:41I
- 5:41think
- 5:42that
- 5:42that's
- 5:42the
- 5:43casino
- 5:43that
- 5:43we
- 5:44play

- 5:46industry
- 5:47when
- 5:47we're
- 5:47trying
- 5:47to
- 5:48assign
- 5:48pricing.
- 5:49And
- 5:49I
- 5:49think
- 5:50it's
- 5:50with
- 5:50these
- 5:50peak
- 5:51demand
- 5:51periods
- 5:52you

- 5:52be,
- 5:52you
- 5:53have
- 5:53to
- 5:53be
- 5:53careful.
- 5:55And
- 5:55I
- 5:55think
- 5:55we
- 5:56saw
- 5:56that
- 5:56in
- 5:57Covid,
- 5:57where
- 5:57we
- 5:58really
- 5:58took
- 5:59arguably
- 5:59and
- 5:59if
- 6:00we're
- 6:00just
- 6:00being
- 6:00honest
- 6:00with
- 6:00ourselves,
- 6:01took
- 6:01advantage
- 6:01of
- 6:02demand,
- 6:02right.
- 6:03And
- 6:03started
- 6:04charging
- 6:04prices
- 6:04where
- 6:05the
- 6:05value
- 6:06proposition
- 6:06of
- 6:06the
- 6:07guests
- 6:07got
- 6:07out
- 6:07of
- 6:07proportion
- 6:08with
- 6:08the
- 6:08price.
- 6:09And
- 6:09there's
- 6:10a
- 6:10lot
- 6:10of
- 6:10people
- 6:10that
- 6:11have
- 6:11hurt
- 6:11feelings
- 6:11about
- 6:11that
- 6:12and
- 6:12feel
- 6:12a
- 6:12certain
- 6:12way
- 6:13about
- 6:13it.
- 6:13And
- 6:13then
- 6:13to
- 6:13have
- 6:14to
- 6:14retreat
- 6:14from
- 6:14that
- 6:15point
- 6:15was
- 6:15not
- 6:15a
- 6:15good
- 6:16look
- 6:16either.
- 6:16And
- 6:16so
- 6:17I
- 6:17think
- 6:18when
- 6:18those
- 6:18types
- 6:18of

- 6:32Oar,
- 6:32et
- 6:32cetera,
- 6:33et
- 6:33cetera.
- 6:33But

- 11:16of
- 11:16thousands
- 11:16of
- 11:16people,
- 11:17so
- 11:17I

- 14:15a
- 14:15half
- 14:15before
- 14:16the
- 14:16game
- 14:16sitting
- 14:16in
- 14:17traffic.
- 14:17But
- 14:17I
- 14:18do
- 14:18think
- 14:18that
- 14:18for
- 14:19such
- 14:19a
- 14:19large
- 14:20event,
- 14:20there's
- 14:20probably
- 14:21a
- 14:21subset
- 14:21of
- 14:21people
- 14:22who
- 14:22would
- 14:23be
- 14:23interested
- 14:23in
- 14:23Finding
- 14:24accommodations
- 14:24like
- 14:25that.
- 14:25I
- 14:26have
- 14:26to
- 14:26imagine
- 14:27when
- 14:27you
- 14:27have
- 14:27something
- 14:28that
- 14:28only
- 14:28happens
- 14:28every
- 14:29four
- 14:29years
- 14:29and
- 14:30it's
- 14:30going
- 14:30to
- 14:30create
- 14:31a
- 14:31massive
- 14:31influx
- 14:32of
- 14:32international
- 14:33travel
- 14:33to
- 14:34north
- 14:35and
- 14:35Central
- 14:35America
- 14:36like
- 14:36that,
- 14:36there's
- 14:37no
- 14:37way,
- 14:37even
- 14:37the
- 14:37displacement
- 14:38doesn't
- 14:38have
- 14:39some
- 14:39sort
- 14:39of
- 14:39positive
- 14:40effect
- 14:40on
- 14:40tourism
- 14:41as
- 14:41a
- 14:42whole.
- 14:42Because
- 14:42maybe
- 14:43it's
- 14:43displacing
- 14:43the
- 14:43folks
- 14:44that
- 14:44would
- 14:44normally
- 14:44go
- 14:44to
- 14:44the
- 14:45city
- 14:45at
- 14:45that
- 14:45time
- 14:45of
- 14:45year
- 14:45and
- 14:46they're
- 14:46going
- 14:46to
- 14:46be
- 14:46looking
- 14:46for
- 14:46these
- 14:47options
- 14:47that
- 14:47don't
- 14:47necessarily
- 14:48need
- 14:48to
- 14:48be
- 14:48next
- 14:48to
- 14:48the
- 14:49stadium.
- 14:49So
- 14:50that
- 14:50demand
- 14:50surge
- 14:51can't
- 14:51be
- 14:51a
- 14:51bad
- 14:52thing.
- 14:52We
- 14:52saw
- 14:52the
- 14:53reverse
- 14:53of
- 14:53this
- 14:53last
- 14:54year
- 14:54in
- 14:54our
- 14:55industry
- 14:55where
- 14:56people
- 14:57surged
- 14:57into
- 14:58the
- 14:58cruise,
- 14:59back
- 14:59into
- 14:59cruises,
- 15:00they
- 15:00started
- 15:00traveling
- 15:01back
- 15:01to
- 15:01Europe,
- 15:01all
- 15:02the
- 15:02stuff
- 15:02that
- 15:02they
- 15:02had
- 15:02put
- 15:02off
- 15:03or
- 15:03delayed
- 15:04in
- 15:04their
- 15:04Covid
- 15:05time
- 15:05and
- 15:05they
- 15:05rushed
- 15:05into
- 15:06our
- 15:06business.
- 15:07We
- 15:07saw
- 15:07that
- 15:07exodus
- 15:08right
- 15:08where
- 15:08people
- 15:09were
- 15:09leaving
- 15:09the
- 15:09country.
- 15:10And
- 15:10that
- 15:11without
- 15:11a
- 15:11doubt,
- 15:12in
- 15:12my
- 15:12experience,
- 15:13especially
- 15:13in
- 15:13the
- 15:13transient

- 15:14world,
- 15:14took
- 15:14a
- 15:14toll
- 15:14on
- 15:15demand.
- 15:16So
- 15:16the
- 15:16reverse
- 15:17of
- 15:17I
- 15:17imagine,
- 15:18has
- 15:18to
- 15:18be
- 15:18true,
- 15:19right?
- 15:19I
- 15:19like
- 15:19to
- 15:19believe,
- 15:20maybe
- 15:20it's
- 15:20my
- 15:20eternal
- 15:21optimism,
- 15:22but
- 15:22has
- 15:23to
- 15:23be
- 15:23true,
- 15:23that
- 15:23it's

- 15:23create
- 15:24agree
- 15:25demand
- 15:25when

- 15:26World

- 15:27I
- 15:28think
- 15:28it
- 15:28will.
- 15:28I
- 15:28think
- 15:28it.
- 15:29Go
- 15:29ahead.
- 15:29Do
- 15:29you
- 15:29mind
- 15:30if
- 15:30I
- 15:30just

- 15:32involve
- 15:32you
- 15:32somehow.
- 15:33I
- 15:33was
- 15:33thinking
- 15:33maybe
- 15:33I
- 15:33should
- 15:34ask
- 15:34Simon
- 15:34if
- 15:34there's
- 15:34been
- 15:35a
- 15:35Europe
- 15:35World
- 15:35cup
- 15:35recently
- 15:36and
- 15:36he
- 15:36has
- 15:36data
- 15:37on
- 15:37this
- 15:37or
- 15:37anything
- 15:37like
- 15:38that.
- 15:38But
- 15:38go
- 15:38ahead,
- 15:38please.
- 15:39No,
- 15:39I
- 15:39don't
- 15:39need
- 15:39data.
- 15:40I
- 15:40just
- 15:40need
- 15:40the
- 15:41European
- 15:41mindset.
- 15:42Football
- 15:44probably
- 15:44also.
- 15:45Miguel
- 15:45can
- 15:45relate
- 15:45to
- 15:46this
- 15:46very
- 15:46well.
- 15:47At
- 15:47the
- 15:47same
- 15:47time
- 15:47that
- 15:48the
- 15:48World

- 15:50to
- 15:50exist
- 15:51in
- 15:51the
- 15:51football
- 15:52community.
- 15:52It's
- 15:53absolutely
- 15:53enormous.
- 15:54So
- 15:54I
- 15:54think
- 15:55every
- 15:55single
- 15:55stadium
- 15:56is
- 15:56going
- 15:56to
- 15:56be
- 15:56full
- 15:56for
- 15:57every
- 15:57single
- 15:57game.
- 15:58That's
- 15:59not
- 15:59an
- 15:59issue.
- 16:00And
- 16:00there's
- 16:00going
- 16:00to
- 16:00be
- 16:01a
- 16:01mix
- 16:01of
- 16:01demand,
- 16:02particularly
- 16:02in
- 16:03this
- 16:03tournament.
- 16:04You
- 16:05have
- 16:05the
- 16:05people
- 16:05who
- 16:05are
- 16:05going
- 16:05to
- 16:06plan
- 16:06in
- 16:06front
- 16:06so
- 16:07they
- 16:07know
- 16:07their
- 16:07team
- 16:08is
- 16:08going
- 16:08to
- 16:08play
- 16:09in
- 16:09the
- 16:09early
- 16:09rounds.
- 16:10They're
- 16:10going
- 16:10to
- 16:10plan
- 16:10a
- 16:10year
- 16:11in
- 16:11advance,
- 16:11year
- 16:11and
- 16:11a
- 16:12half
- 16:12in
- 16:12advance
- 16:13and
- 16:13book
- 16:13up.
- 16:14And
- 16:15that's
- 16:15probably
- 16:15you
- 16:15need
- 16:16to
- 16:16look
- 16:16out
- 16:16for
- 16:16that
- 16:17demand
- 16:18and
- 16:18take
- 16:18care
- 16:18of
- 16:18that.
- 16:19But
- 16:19then
- 16:20there's
- 16:20going
- 16:20to
- 16:20be
- 16:21second
- 16:21level,
- 16:21which
- 16:22comes
- 16:22when
- 16:22you
- 16:22get
- 16:22towards
- 16:23the
- 16:23quarterfinal,
- 16:23semifinal
- 16:24and
- 16:24final,
- 16:25which
- 16:25is
- 16:25an
- 16:26enormous,
- 16:26unbelievable
- 16:27demand
- 16:28where
- 16:28anybody
- 16:29is
- 16:29going
- 16:29to
- 16:29do
- 16:30anything
- 16:30they
- 16:30can
- 16:31to
- 16:31come
- 16:31and
- 16:32see
- 16:32the
- 16:32game
- 16:33where
- 16:33that's
- 16:34spending
- 16:34their
- 16:34life
- 16:34savings
- 16:35quitting
- 16:35their
- 16:36job,
- 16:36finding
- 16:37any
- 16:37way
- 16:37possible
- 16:38they

- 16:39any
- 16:39accommodation
- 16:40possible
- 16:40they
- 16:40can
- 16:41find.
- 16:42So
- 16:42that's
- 16:42really
- 16:42going
- 16:43to
- 16:43happen.
- 16:43It's
- 16:43going
- 16:43to
- 16:43be
- 16:43enormous.
- 16:44So
- 16:44those
- 16:44last,
- 16:45I
- 16:45don't
- 16:45know
- 16:45if
- 16:46it's
- 16:46two
- 16:46weeks
- 16:46of
- 16:47the
- 16:47tournament,
- 16:48there's
- 16:48going
- 16:48to
- 16:48be
- 16:49enormous
- 16:49demand
- 16:49and
- 16:49you
- 16:50need
- 16:50to
- 16:50be
- 16:50ready
- 16:50to
- 16:51accept
- 16:51guests,
- 16:52any
- 16:52guest
- 16:53finding
- 16:53any
- 16:54accommodation.
- 16:55And
- 16:55then
- 16:55the
- 16:56other
- 16:56opposite
- 16:56of
- 16:56that
- 16:56is
- 16:57the
- 16:57long
- 16:57term
- 16:57planners.
- 16:58So
- 16:58you
- 16:58need
- 16:58to
- 16:58think
- 16:59about
- 16:59both
- 16:59of
- 16:59them.
- 17:00Yeah,
- 17:02go
- 17:02ahead.
- 17:03I
- 17:04think
- 17:04there
- 17:04might
- 17:04be
- 17:05some
- 17:05parallels
- 17:05that
- 17:06could
- 17:06be
- 17:06drawn
- 17:06from
- 17:07data
- 17:07in
- 17:07the
- 17:07hotel
- 17:08industry
- 17:08as
- 17:08well,
- 17:09because
- 17:09the
- 17:10data
- 17:10is
- 17:10much
- 17:10more
- 17:11robust.
- 17:12You
- 17:12could
- 17:12probably
- 17:12look
- 17:13at
- 17:13multiples
- 17:13on
- 17:14average
- 17:14daily
- 17:15rates
- 17:15and
- 17:15see
- 17:16what's
- 17:16happened
- 17:17internationally
- 17:18on
- 17:18that
- 17:18end
- 17:18as
- 17:18well.
- 17:20And
- 17:20I
- 17:20would
- 17:21imagine,
- 17:21right.
- 17:21If
- 17:22I'm.
- 17:22Let's
- 17:23just

- 23:31large
- 23:31number
- 23:31of
- 23:31them,

- 23:41thought
- 23:41on
- 23:41that.

- 23:43term
- 23:43demand

- 23:44just
- 23:44from

- 23:45time
- 23:45people
- 23:46necessarily
- 23:46on

- 24:09driver
- 24:10to
- 24:10be

- 26:44getaway,
- 26:46but
- 26:46they
- 26:46leave
- 26:47their

- 26:50seasons,
- 26:5140
- 26:51seasons
- 26:52even,
- 26:52and
- 26:53that
- 26:53they
- 26:53upgrade
- 26:53trailers
- 26:54in
- 26:54the
- 26:54same
- 26:55site.
- 26:56It's
- 26:56just
- 26:56interesting
- 26:57that
- 26:58there's,
- 27:00we
- 27:01see
- 27:01so
- 27:01much
- 27:01demand.
- 27:02If
- 27:03you're
- 27:03doing
- 27:03your
- 27:03marketing
- 27:04right,
- 27:04you've,
- 27:05if
- 27:05you're
- 27:05operating
- 27:05the
- 27:06property,
- 27:06you
- 27:06should
- 27:06have
- 27:06a
- 27:07waiting
- 27:07list
- 27:08years
- 27:09and
- 27:09years
- 27:09long
- 27:10for
- 27:10these
- 27:11seasonal
- 27:11sites.
- 27:12I
- 27:12think
- 27:13that's
- 27:13because
- 27:13it's
- 27:13hard
- 27:13to
- 27:14develop
- 27:14in
- 27:14the
- 27:14Northeast
- 27:15as
- 27:15well.
- 27:15So
- 27:15there's
- 27:15a
- 27:16supply
- 27:16issue.
- 27:18But
- 27:18it's
- 27:19such
- 27:19a
- 27:19stark
- 27:19difference
- 27:20from
- 27:20Texas
- 27:21or
- 27:21Arizona
- 27:21where
- 27:22it's
- 27:22a
- 27:22lot
- 27:22easier
- 27:23to
- 27:23build.
- 27:25Probably
- 27:25a
- 27:25lot
- 27:25more
- 27:26common
- 27:26though
- 27:26to,
- 27:27to
- 27:27live

- 27:29your
- 27:29circumstances.

- 29:42And
- 29:42it's
- 29:42not
- 29:43really
- 29:43changing
- 29:43much.
- 29:44I
- 29:44think
- 29:44the
- 29:45only
- 29:45difference
- 29:46that
- 29:46we
- 29:46are
- 29:47seeing
- 29:47now
- 29:47is
- 29:47the
- 29:47unpredictability
- 29:50in
- 29:50the
- 29:50market
- 29:50where
- 29:51the
- 29:51last
- 29:51couple
- 29:51of
- 29:52years
- 29:52there
- 29:52was
- 29:52a
- 29:52big
- 29:53increase
- 29:53in
- 29:53price
- 29:54for
- 29:55per
- 29:55night
- 29:55stays
- 29:56and
- 29:56that
- 29:57kind
- 29:57of
- 29:58was
- 29:58fine.
- 29:59And
- 29:59then
- 29:59it
- 29:59got
- 29:59a
- 30:00bit
- 30:00of
- 30:00a
- 30:00plateau
- 30:00last
- 30:01year
- 30:02and
- 30:02there's
- 30:02a
- 30:02lot
- 30:02of
- 30:02uncertainty
- 30:04in
- 30:04Europe
- 30:04at
- 30:04the
- 30:05moment
- 30:05with
- 30:06the
- 30:06economy
- 30:06and
- 30:06everything
- 30:07else
- 30:07going
- 30:07on.
- 30:08So
- 30:09it's
- 30:09whether
- 30:09these
- 30:10people
- 30:11say,
- 30:11okay,
- 30:11screw
- 30:12it,
- 30:12this
- 30:12year
- 30:12I'm
- 30:12going
- 30:12to
- 30:12stay
- 30:13home
- 30:13and
- 30:13I'm
- 30:14going
- 30:14to
- 30:14find
- 30:14something
- 30:14locally
- 30:15or
- 30:15I'm
- 30:15still
- 30:15going
- 30:15to
- 30:16go
- 30:16south.
- 30:16So
- 30:17I
- 30:17think
- 30:17that's
- 30:17the
- 30:17biggest
- 30:18uncertainty
- 30:18that's
- 30:18happening
- 30:19here.
- 30:19But
- 30:19certainly
- 30:19the
- 30:20balance
- 30:20between
- 30:20long
- 30:21term
- 30:21and
- 30:21transient
- 30:22isn't
- 30:23really
- 30:23changing.
- 30:24A
- 30:24lot
- 30:25of
- 30:25the
- 30:25campgrounds
- 30:25still
- 30:26are
- 30:26actually
- 30:26trying
- 30:27to
- 30:27move
- 30:27out
- 30:27the
- 30:28transient
- 30:29long
- 30:29term.
- 30:29Sorry.
- 30:30So
- 30:30that
- 30:30was
- 30:31a
- 30:31big
- 30:31sort
- 30:32of
- 30:32trend
- 30:3310
- 30:33years
- 30:33ago.
- 30:34But
- 30:35with
- 30:35the
- 30:35market
- 30:35shift,
- 30:36the
- 30:36new
- 30:36younger
- 30:36generation
- 30:37coming
- 30:37in,
- 30:37everything
- 30:38that's
- 30:38happened
- 30:38since
- 30:38COVID
- 30:39they're
- 30:39actually
- 30:40reducing
- 30:40the
- 30:40number
- 30:40of
- 30:40long
- 30:41term
- 30:41sites
- 30:42and
- 30:42catering
- 30:42more
- 30:43for
- 30:43transient.
- 30:44So
- 30:44that's
- 30:44a.
- 30:44It's
- 30:44a
- 30:45very
- 30:45different
- 30:45market
- 30:45here
- 30:46and.
- 30:47It's
- 30:47more,
- 30:47I
- 30:47think
- 30:47closely
- 30:48related
- 30:48to
- 30:48the
- 30:48Northeast,
- 30:49like
- 30:49Matt

- 30:49saying,
- 30:50where
- 30:50they,
- 30:50you
- 30:51know,
- 30:51they
- 30:51can't.
- 30:51They
- 30:52could,
- 30:52but
- 30:52they
- 30:53generally
- 30:53don't
- 30:53stay
- 30:54all
- 30:54year,
- 30:5412
- 30:54months
- 30:55a
- 30:55year
- 30:55because
- 30:55of
- 30:55the
- 30:56weather.
- 30:56Right?
- 30:57Yeah.
- 30:58Okay.
- 30:59Those
- 31:00compounds
- 31:00are
- 31:00going
- 31:01to
- 31:01shut
- 31:01for

- 34:35changes.
- 34:35But
- 34:36we
- 34:36are
- 34:36definitely
- 34:36seeing
- 34:37that
- 34:37right
- 34:37now
