The UK’s new glamping trade body, the Glamping Industries Trade Association, GITA(UK), this week announced a wide ranging programme of webinars and member engagement for the Autumn and Winter.
“Having launched at The Glamping Show and officially opening our doors for business on October 1st, GITA(UK) has hit the ground running.” commented Chairman, Derry Green, of Secret Garden Glamping. “One thing we heard loud and clear on the GITA(UK) stand at the Show, was the desire for information. Our webinar programme and member engagement programme answers that call.” he added.
The series of events kicks off with an all-member meeting on November 6th followed by an all-industry webinar (i.e open to non-members) entitled ‘Trends, Predictions, Facts and Fiction – where is glamping going?’ on November 13th.
The member-only webinar series continues with ‘How to Finance your Glamping Business’ on 11th December before, on the 11th January 2025, the first in a series of webinars on ‘The Buying Decision’ focuses on Hot Tubs. On 12th February the webinars continue with a session on ‘Customer Service – How to get it right’, before the second buying decision webinar focuses on wood-burning stoves.
“This is just the start”, said Derry. “We have plans for webinars covering Health and Safety; Sustainability, Cleaning, Cooking and Changeovers, plus more buying decision sessions and more member meetings. With member numbers ticking up week by week I am sure these are all going to be lively sessions.”
Further details on each of the webinars will be issued nearer the date, but GITA(UK) are inviting anyone interested in attending to email info@gitauk.org, or to visit the GITA(UK) website to apply for membership www.gitauk.org.
