3 Ways to Drive Positive TripAdvisor Rankings With Text & Why It’s Important
8 October 2021
Since the onset of Covid-19, businesses across the hospitality industry have been surviving by leaning into resilience, empathy and adaptation. The collective Kampgrounds of America are a perfect example, staying open throughout the pandemic while delivering first-rate, socially-distanced travel experiences. A quick search across TripAdvisor illustrates the incredible job you did, with a host of 5-star reviews from the peak of 2020’s travel season commending responsiveness, friendliness, and commitment to guest service from start to finish.Indeed, the power that these reviews hold cannot be ignored, with research from late 2020 finding that 71% of Americans say online reviews matter now more than ever, and 76% of travellers stating they’re willing to book a destination with better reviews, even if it costs more than its equivalent hotel with a lower rating. With 270 TripAdvisor reviews submitted per minute, it’s clear that rankings, and their impact, can change in the blink of an eye. Which is why Medallia Zingle has put together three tips to help KOAs capitalize on your dedication to higher service standards, and ensure your review-worthy camping experiences get the recognition they deserve on TripAdvisor and elsewhere online.

RV Industry Association Shares Happy News for 2021
Not only did the RVIA note an all-time high for shipments of RVs in Q1 of 2021, but it looks the Americans are ready to camp! RVIA projected 56 million people plan to camp this summer and surprisingly, its not ALL about COVID. As stated on their May 18th article, a recent survey of America’s 180 million leisure travelers found that 31% are planning on going RVing this summer, announced the President and CEO of the RV Industry Association, Craig Kirby. “More and more Americans are ready to travel this summer and 56 million of them are planning to go RVing in an RV they rent, own, or borrow,” said Kirby. “Even with other forms of travel returning, the desire to use an RV to get outdoors and experience an active outdoor lifestyle is stronger than ever. RVing has been cemented as a mainstream travel option that is here to stay.”https://www.rvia.org/news-insights/56-million-people-plan-go-rving-summer-and-its-not-about-covid Considering COVID seems to be all we hear about as of late, its uplifting to hear the camping industry may very well continue to reap some of the positive long-term impacts.
