SUMMARY:Breakout Session: Winning the Digital Guest: Understanding How Today’s RVers Search\, Compare\, and Book
DESCRIPTION:Myths\, Margins and Missed Opportunities. A clear look at how OTAs influence traveler behavior and how parks can use them to improve visibility and increase direct bookings without losing control. Many park owners question whether OTAs truly help their business or simply add fees. This session offers a clear look at how travelers actually discover campgrounds and why OTAs often play a larger role in visibility than most parks realize. We address common misconceptions and explain the real booking path guests follow\, which often starts on OTAs even when they book directly. Instead of debating the value of OTAs\, we focus on what data shows. Attendees will learn practical ways to use OTAs to strengthen direct bookings\, not replace them.

SUMMARY:Breakout Session: Preparing for the New RV Electrical Standard - Smarter Electrical Infrastructure for RV Parks.
DESCRIPTION:Note: Includes updates on the New Ground Monitoring Interrupters (GMIs) requirements\, how they will impact your park\, and how you can prepare. Utility infrastructure is one of the most overlooked factors in the long-term performance of RV parks\, campgrounds\, and marinas.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how thoughtful electrical infrastructure planning can improve operations today while preparing properties for tomorrow’s demands\nPresented by Heidi Doyle\, Mike Sorensen\, Tristan Ciceri

SUMMARY:Breakout Session: Dynamic Pricing and AI for the Technically Challenged
