Originally created for The National Trust, Crown and Canopy’s practical business manual is a<br />
no-nonsense guide to setting up a glamping business from conception to completion.<br />
This book takes the reader through a comprehensive step by step approach from choosing the right<br />
location through to day to day running. It’s a one stop shop for all the information necessary when writing<br />
business plans, going through the planning process and creating and installing your retreat.<br />
The author Edward Busby, co-founder of Crown and Canopy, has been working in the glamping industry for<br />
the last seven years. In this time, he has been involved in every aspect of the business from building to<br />
managing entire retreats. He now provides professional services across the country as well as working with<br />
and alongside leading enterprises such as Canopy and Stars and The National Trust.<br />
