- 26:04that
- 26:04the
- 26:04overall
- 26:05level
- 26:05of
- 26:05brand
- 26:06penetration
- 26:06there
- 26:06is
- 26:07probably
- 26:07higher
- 26:07than
- 26:08it
- 26:08is
- 26:09here.
- 26:09And
- 26:09that's,
- 26:10that
- 26:10might
- 26:10be
- 26:10true
- 26:10in
- 26:10the
- 26:10UK
- 26:11as
- 26:11well.
- 26:11So
- 26:11I
- 26:11think
- 26:12it
- 26:12depends,
- 26:12what
- 26:13part
- 26:13of
- 26:13the
- 26:13industry
- 26:14you're
- 26:14talking
- 26:14about.
- 26:14But
- 26:15the
- 26:15one
- 26:15thing
- 26:15I
- 26:15would
- 26:15say
- 26:16is
- 26:16that
- 26:16the
- 26:16US
- 26:17is
- 26:17probably,
- 26:17the
- 26:18friendliest

- 26:20capital
- 26:21in
- 26:21the
- 26:21world.
- 26:21And
- 26:22think
- 26:22that's
- 26:22been
- 26:22a
- 26:22really
- 26:23important
- 26:23part
- 26:24of
- 26:24why
- 26:24we've
- 26:24seen
- 26:25some
- 26:26of
- 26:26the

- 26:37But
- 26:37again
- 26:37it
- 26:38all
- 26:38just
- 26:38depends
- 26:38what
- 26:38you're

- 42:53yet.
- 42:53And
- 42:53so
- 42:53their
- 42:53attention
- 42:54is
- 42:54still
- 42:55maybe
- 42:55can
- 42:55be
- 42:55taken
- 42:56advantage
- 42:56of
- 42:56for
- 42:56the
- 42:56year.
- 42:56It's
- 42:57in
- 42:57the
- 42:57more
- 42:57original
- 42:58accommodations.
- 42:58I'm
- 42:58just
- 42:59gonna
- 42:59answer
- 42:59from
- 42:59my
- 42:59perspective.
- 43:00Once
- 43:00you
- 43:01start
- 43:01to
- 43:01hit
- 43:01that
- 43:02price
- 43:02point
- 43:02of,
- 43:03collective
- 43:03retreats,
- 43:04they
- 43:04have
- 43:04their
- 43:04own
- 43:05following
- 43:06and
- 43:06what
- 43:06they've
- 43:07really
- 43:07amped
- 43:07up
- 43:08is
- 43:08actually
- 43:08what
- 43:08I
- 43:09would
- 43:09feel
- 43:09like
- 43:09I
- 43:09would
- 43:09compare
- 43:10to
- 43:10the
- 43:10tented
- 43:11camps
- 43:11of
- 43:11The
- 43:12poor
- 43:12seasons.
- 43:13They've
- 43:13really
- 43:14made
- 43:14a
- 43:14huge
- 43:14investment.
- 43:16I
- 43:16do
- 43:16believe
- 43:16they
- 43:16will
- 43:16have
- 43:17the
- 43:17premier
- 43:18accommodation.
- 43:18I
- 43:19think
- 43:19that
- 43:19they're
- 43:20probably
- 43:20targeting
- 43:20a
- 43:21market
- 43:22that
- 43:22has
- 43:22already
- 43:22seen
- 43:23their
- 43:23product
- 43:23and
- 43:23is
- 43:23very
- 43:24excited
- 43:25for
- 43:25the
- 43:25next
- 43:25product.
- 43:26But
- 43:27I
- 43:27do
- 43:27believe
- 43:28that
- 43:28there
- 43:28is
- 43:29a
- 43:29lot
- 43:29of
- 43:30people
- 43:30who
- 43:30haven't
- 43:30entered
- 43:31the
- 43:31market
- 43:31yet,
- 43:31who
- 43:31are
- 43:32just
- 43:32seeing
- 43:32it.
- 43:32But
- 43:32again,
- 43:33gotta
- 43:34think,
- 43:34Peppa
- 43:34Pig
- 43:34was
- 43:35talking
- 43:35about
- 43:35glamping

- 43:40two
- 43:40years
- 43:40ago.
- 43:41So
- 43:41I
- 43:41feel
- 43:42like
- 43:42there
- 43:42was
- 43:42an
- 43:42influx
- 43:43of
- 43:43a
- 43:43lot
- 43:43of
- 43:43people
- 43:44talking
- 43:44about
- 43:44it.
- 43:45If
- 43:45they
- 43:45didn't
- 43:45know
- 43:45about
- 43:45it,
- 43:46they
- 43:46heard
- 43:46about
- 43:46it.
- 43:46I'd
- 43:47be
- 43:47curious
- 43:47to
- 43:47see,
- 43:47and
- 43:47maybe
- 43:48Ruben,

- 43:56For,
- 43:56that's

- 43:56That's,
- 43:58Yeah.
- 43:58And
- 43:59I
- 43:59think,

- 44:00if.

- 44:06I've
- 44:06said
- 44:06for
- 44:06quite

- 44:09the
- 44:09pandemic,
- 44:09that

- 44:11proven
- 44:11to
- 44:11be
- 44:11this
- 44:11gateway
- 44:12to
- 44:12the

- 44:13So
- 44:13people
- 44:14who
- 44:14were
- 44:14just
- 44:14like,
- 44:14I

- 44:21few
- 44:22months
- 44:22or
- 44:23last
- 44:23year,
- 44:24I
- 44:24think

- 44:58the
- 44:58first
- 44:59year

- 45:07definitely
- 45:07agree

- 45:09Absolutely.
- 45:09We've
- 45:10got
- 45:10some
- 45:10members
- 45:11in
- 45:11I,
- 45:12I

- 45:12anybody
- 45:12out,
- 45:13but
- 45:13I
- 45:13joke
- 45:13with
- 45:14one
- 45:14all
- 45:14the
- 45:14time
- 45:14about
- 45:15he

- 45:16the
- 45:16term,
- 45:17what
- 45:17matters
- 45:18is
- 45:18that
- 45:18the
- 45:19consumers
- 45:19understand
- 45:20and
- 45:20are
- 45:20embracing
- 45:21the
- 45:21term
- 45:22and
- 45:22are
- 45:22seeking
- 45:23out
- 45:23those
- 45:23experiences.
- 45:24The
- 45:24word
- 45:25the
- 45:25definition
- 45:26stuff,
- 45:26I
- 45:26think
- 45:26took
- 45:26a
- 45:26while
- 45:27to
- 45:27get
- 45:27there.
- 45:27And
- 45:27we
- 45:27see
- 45:27that
- 45:28in,
- 45:28in
- 45:28other
- 45:29areas
- 45:29of
- 45:29the

- 45:30hospitality
- 45:30industry,
- 45:30in
- 45:30my
- 45:30opinion
- 45:31too.
- 45:31But
- 45:31specifically
- 45:32with
- 45:32glamping
- 45:32it's
- 45:32just
- 45:33that
- 45:34market
- 45:34awareness
- 45:35and
- 45:35understanding
- 45:36has
- 45:36grown
- 45:36significantly
- 45:37over
- 45:37the
- 45:37last
- 45:37while.
- 45:37And
- 45:38I
- 45:38agree.
- 45:38I
- 45:39think
- 45:39it's
- 45:39because
- 45:39of,
- 45:40those
- 45:40big
- 45:40PR
- 45:41things
- 45:42that
- 45:42have
- 45:42worked
- 45:42in
- 45:42our
- 45:42favor
- 45:43that
- 45:43way.
- 45:45I
- 45:45agree
- 45:45as
- 45:45well.
- 45:45Sorry,
- 45:46sorry
- 45:46for
- 45:46that.
- 45:47So
- 45:47what
- 45:47I
- 45:47feel
- 45:48is
- 45:48that
- 45:48same
- 45:48thing
- 45:49now.
- 45:49People
- 45:49are
- 45:49really
- 45:50going
- 45:51into
- 45:51using
- 45:51this
- 45:52word,
- 45:52even
- 45:52if
- 45:52sometimes
- 45:53they're
- 45:53not
- 45:53sure
- 45:53of
- 45:54what
- 45:54it
- 45:54is,
- 45:54but,
- 45:54they
- 45:54feel
- 45:55that
- 45:55it's
- 45:55a
- 45:55grounded
- 45:55experience.
- 45:56So
- 45:56we've
- 45:57seen
- 45:57that
- 45:57a
- 45:57lot.
- 45:57And
- 45:58if
- 45:58we're
- 45:58talking
- 45:58about
- 45:59next
- 45:59several
- 46:00months,
- 46:00what
- 46:00I
- 46:00feel
- 46:01is,
- 46:01it's
- 46:01a
- 46:01realization
- 46:02of
- 46:02everything
- 46:03has
- 46:03to
- 46:03do
- 46:03with
- 46:03outdoors.
- 46:04Everything
- 46:04has
- 46:04to
- 46:04do
- 46:05with
- 46:05how
- 46:05you
- 46:05feel
- 46:06about
- 46:06going
- 46:07in
- 46:07the
- 46:07great
- 46:07outdoors.
- 46:08And
- 46:08its
- 46:09place
- 46:09has
- 46:09their
- 46:09unique
- 46:10points.
- 46:11Even
- 46:11Greece
- 46:11or
- 46:12in
- 46:12Italy
- 46:12maybe
- 46:13North
- 46:13Italy
- 46:13is
- 46:13different
- 46:14from
- 46:14South
- 46:14Italy.
- 46:14In
- 46:15North
- 46:15there
- 46:15are
- 46:15more
- 46:15wineries
- 46:16or
- 46:16farms
- 46:17that
- 46:17can
- 46:17serve
- 46:17lumping.
- 46:18And
- 46:18then
- 46:18we
- 46:18have
- 46:19South
- 46:19Italy,
- 46:19which
- 46:20is
- 46:20more
- 46:20sun
- 46:20and
- 46:20beach.
- 46:21So
- 46:21I
- 46:21feel
- 46:21that
- 46:21every
- 46:22place
- 46:22and
- 46:22every
- 46:23operator
- 46:23has
- 46:23find
- 46:24their
- 46:24own
- 46:24way
- 46:24to
- 46:24to
- 46:25promote,
- 46:25let's
- 46:26say
- 46:26their
- 46:26place
- 46:27and
- 46:27create
- 46:28a
- 46:28unique
- 46:28a
- 46:28solid
- 46:29presence
- 46:29for
- 46:29themselves.
- 46:30To
- 46:30bring
- 46:31the
- 46:31right
- 46:31guests
- 46:31at
- 46:32their
- 46:32accommodations.
- 46:32I
- 46:33think
- 46:33that
- 46:33we're
- 46:33still
- 46:33on
- 46:34the
- 46:34early
- 46:34days
- 46:34of
- 46:34the
- 46:35on
- 46:35the
- 46:35industry.
- 46:36I
- 46:36really
- 46:37recognize
- 46:37all
- 46:38the
- 46:38hard
- 46:38work
- 46:39that
- 46:39the
- 46:40OG
- 46:40Lambers
- 46:41have
- 46:41done
- 46:41for
- 46:41the
- 46:42industry.
- 46:42But
- 46:43at
- 46:43the
- 46:43same
- 46:43time
- 46:43for
- 46:43example,
- 46:44here
- 46:44in
- 46:44Mexico,
- 46:45we're
- 46:45only
- 46:45seeing
- 46:46that
- 46:46people
- 46:46are
- 46:46getting,
- 46:47or
- 46:47that
- 46:48the
- 46:48industry
- 46:48or
- 46:49the
- 46:49category
- 46:49is
- 46:49getting
- 46:49traction.
- 46:50So
- 46:51even
- 46:52though
- 46:52that
- 46:52the
- 46:53glamping
- 46:53industry
- 46:53in
- 46:53Mexico,
- 46:54boom,

- 47:06which
- 47:07is
- 47:07a
- 47:07well
- 47:07established
- 47:08category
- 47:08that
- 47:09has
- 47:09been
- 47:09for
- 47:09a
- 47:09long
- 47:10time.
- 47:11So
- 47:11that
- 47:11only
- 47:12shows
- 47:12that
- 47:12we're
- 47:13on
- 47:13the
- 47:13very
- 47:13early
- 47:14stages.
- 47:15That
- 47:15people
- 47:15are
- 47:16discovering
- 47:16the
- 47:16category.
- 47:18And
