HOW ARE MILLENNIALS CHANGING THE GAME FOR THE RV PARK AND CAMPGROUND INDUSTRY?
What's the trick to capturing the business of millennial campers? According to industry expert Brad Illich of NewBook, it's embracing technology to provide unforgettable guest stays throughout the entire customer journey.

ARVC sat down with Illich at the 2019 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) in Knoxville to find out more about Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chatbots and Guest Apps and how ARVC-member parks can benefit.
