In-Person KOA Buyer’s Workshop Set For April 10-11 in San Antonio, Texas

KOA NEWS SERVICE (March 1, 2021) - Kampgrounds of America Inc. will be returning to its popular in-person format when it hosts its next KOA Buyer’s Workshop April 10-11 at the San Antonio/Alamo KOA Holiday in Texas.

Prior to 2020, Kampgrounds of America Inc. hosted multiple Buyer’s Workshops each year throughout the U.S., all aimed at providing potential new campground owners with the guidance and information they need to make an informed decision on future campground ownership. In October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, KOA took their Buyer’s Workshop virtual, hosting more than 70 attendees for the first-of-its-kind event.

“While the Virtual KOA Buyer’s Workshop was a resounding success, we know there is nothing like being there in person,” said KOA Director of Franchise Development Larry Brownfield. “We’re all looking forward to personally meeting and interacting with all of our attendees, and ensuring we provide them all of the knowledge and experience our 59-year-old company has to offer as they begin their journey to campground ownership.”

KOA Buyer’s Workshop attendees will learn all of the details of campground ownership, campground management, insurance and finance from KOA experts, as well as from the leaders of KOA partners Independence Bank and Leavitt Recreation & Hospitality Insurance.

Brownfield said camping is now the absolute star of the outdoor industry, with millions of new North American campers flocking to campgrounds and purchasing recreational vehicles. KOA enjoyed a string of nine years of year-over-year record performance. The company finished 2020 nearly on par with its 2019 record performance, despite the delayed opening of many campgrounds in North America.

“We saw record months last summer and fall despite the pandemic,” Brownfield said. “KOA camping was the perfect answer for millions of North Americans eager to get back outside and enjoy nature in a safe, secure environment.”

The cost of the April 10-11 KOA Buyer’s Workshop is $250 per person or $300 per couple, and includes all materials as well as one breakfast and two lunches. The San Antonio/Alamo KOA Holiday is the host campground for the KOA Buyer's Workshop.

KOA is currently accepting registrations for the April 10-11 Buyer's Workshop. Just call 800-548-7239 or email dflanagan@koa.net.

Kampgrounds of America Inc. is the long-established leader in the camping industry, with 525 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company was born on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana and Billings is still the site of KOA’s home office.
