As the outdoor hospitality industry continues to grow, diversity has become a larger topic as glamping parks, RV parks and campgrounds all look to be welcoming environments. Along with that focus, the industry is also looking to entice more diversity among its park ownership ranks.
WCM’s Outdoor Hospitality Industry has invited Nathan and Alicia Lawson, the new owners of the recently developed Time Away RV Resort, to discuss these issues and more during its show on March 1 at 3 p.m. EST. The couple has noted to WCM in the past that they faced numerous challenges on their path to becoming African American entrepreneurs, including issues when it came time to finance their park.

With a background in owning rental housing units, the couple decided it was time to explore owning an RV park and have enjoyed the process of developing and opening their park. They also now mentor other minority entrepreneurs.
