🎙️🎙️ Welcome to A Bit of Whit, a podcast series from the American Glamping Association hosted by outdoor hospitality leader Whitney Scott.

In this episode, Whitney takes us behind the scenes of her latest thought piece: “Hotels' Effect on Glamping: The Hidden Shift in Outdoor Hospitality.” It’s a deep dive into how the rapid growth of glamping is drawing increased attention from traditional hospitality players—and what that means for operators, innovation, guest expectations, and the soul of the industry.

From blurred brand lines to shifting service models, Whitney shares insights on how glamping is evolving and what independent operators can do to stay ahead while staying true to their roots.
