Alt.Accom Magazine and Event created by The Glamping Show Team
Upgrade Publishing, the owner of the titles International Glamping Business, Holiday Parks Management and Free Range Magazine, is proud to announce that it has created a new publication for the alternative accommodation sector. The new digital title, called Alt.Accom looks at non-traditional structures, which are eco-friendly and suitable for markets such as housing, local government education and the charitable sector/aid agencies, as well as tourism.
Alt.Accom will be supported by a trade show, organised by Upgrade’s sister company; Swan Events. The Alt.Accom show will take place at Stoneleigh Park, on 19-21 September, alongside The Glamping Show, which is now in its fifth year.
“The Alt.Accom show will look at alternative building methods, sustainable and green technology and modular and inspirational architecture with wide-ranging possible uses. We will market both the show and the magazine to a wider audience of local authorities, architects and building specifiers, as well as schools and colleges,” says Karen Cooke, show organiser.
“International Glamping Business is nearly four years old now and remains the only dedicated glamping trade publication in the world,” says Publisher Steph Curtis-Raleigh. “Along with The Glamping Show, the team is at the forefront of the outdoor accommodation sector. Last year, we established the first Global Glamping Summits in Denver and California, which Swan Events are now taking forward with a US partner. We realised that the wonderful and unusual structures we were seeing had far wider applications than just glamping. Hence Alt.Accom was born. The digital readership of this publication will top 15,000 and we are about to launch a dedicated social media campaign to boost subscriptions still further.”
Alt.Accom will only be available as a digital download and will be supported by a monthly newsletter and a new website (www.altaccom.com). The first issue boasts an interview with Mike Reynolds, renegade architect and creator of the eco-friendly Earthship Movement. Advertising revenue will be derived from digital banners and content to support highly targeted social media and email distribution.
