The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) said that Takeaway Tours were always one of the most popular experiences offered at its annual Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo. And with OHCE2020 going virtual, instead of traveling to parks, ARVC is bringing the parks to attendees and including it in the cost of registration.
This year’s virtual Takeaway Tours will again provide an in-depth look at the operations and infrastructure of three parks, allowing attendees to interact with the park’s owners, operators and industry-respected guides.
The three Florida-based ARVC-member parks selected to host the takeaway tours this year are Jolly Roger RV Resort (130 sites) in Marathon, Nature’s Resort (304 sites) in Homosassa, and Cross Creek RV Resort (612 sites) in Arcadia,. ARVC worked with the Florida Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds to select parks in the state near Daytona Beach, Fla., which was originally scheduled to be the host city for OHCE2020. The three parks vary greatly in size, budget, amenities, resources, target market and much more, allowing attendees to find a variety of solutions and connections.
“We are thrilled to be able to work with these three parks, keeping our focus on the area in Florida where our conference was supposed to take place,” said Paula Horwitz, ARVC’s executive director.
In past years, Takeaway Tours were an extra $299 add-on cost for attendees to visit parks for a full day, but due to the virtual nature of this year’s event ARVC is including this learning experience for free for all those who register, Horwitz says.
OHCE2020 is Nov. 2-5, 2020 and registration is now open. ARVC members are offered significant discounts on registration, including the chance to attend for free as part of a new Hosted Buyer Program.
