Are You Getting the Most Out of Your AGA Membership?
Joining the American Glamping Association is just the first step. The real value comes from actively using the resources, connections, and educational opportunities available to you throughout the year.
Whether you're launching your first glamping business or managing an established operation, your membership includes tools designed to help you solve problems faster, connect with industry professionals, and stay informed about trends and best practices.
Here are a few ways to make sure you're getting the most from your AGA membership.
Start with the AGA Experts Program
One of the newest and most valuable member benefits is the AGA Experts Program.
Through the member dashboard, AGA members can connect directly with industry experts across a variety of specialties, including marketing, operations, insurance, guest experience, design, finance, technology, and more.
Each month, our experts log into the platform to answer questions, share insights, and engage with members. This gives you direct access to professionals who understand the unique challenges of the glamping industry.
The key is participation.
If you're facing a challenge, looking for recommendations, exploring a new idea, or simply want a second opinion, post your question. The more members engage with the Experts Program, the more valuable the community becomes for everyone involved.
Think of it as having an advisory board available right inside your member dashboard.
