1/ Hiking and cottages
StarsBOX allows you to sleep under the open sky in the mountains while having the comfort of a cottage.
Would you like to try?
Not this summer, they are completely sold out.

2/ Subscription hotels
City hotels are empty.
We see massive adoption of remote work.
Caravanserai tried in 2014 to build a âsubscription hotelâ for $1600/month in multiple locations around the world.
They failed.
The best time for a hotel chain to give it a shot? Now.

3/ Agrihoods
Booking a rural farm or a countryside house for this summer has been a challenge.
Guests are also looking for locally harvested food and a healthy lifestyle.
A new concept that combines it all: âagrihoodsâ https://iconiclife.com/agrihood-healthy-community/

4/ Workations
People want to escape cities and work remotely from the countryside.
Maybe not permanently but a few weeks a year would be great.
Some tech companies even offer it as a benefit for small teams.
You can offer it to your employees too: https://www.thesurfoffice.com/blog/need-some-deep-work-its-time-for-a-team-workation/

5/ Camping, campsites & glamping
Quite obvious, right?
Some cool players at this space:
@theautocamp
@tentrr
@getaway_house
@hipcamp
My favorite is @harvesthosts: a network of wineries and breweries, where you can park your RV, and stay for a night (and a drink).

6/ RVs and campers
Everyone around me has been talking about renting a campervan.
Kibbo is a new concept that combines #vanlife, subscriptions, camping, and coliving.
(a paid newsletter is probably the only missing trendy piece in this mix) https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/20/kibbo-wants-to-remake-the-trailer-park-so-vanlife-can-be-a-life-and-not-a-lifestyle/

7/ Outing/offsite locations near cities
We see an increasing demand for this from the "newly-remote" companies.
A safe and private venue, 1-3h drive from large cities.
If you know about people building facilities for this, please sent them my way. https://www.thesurfoffice.com/blog/a-full-buyout-of-a-hotel-for-your-next-company-offsite/

8/ Rural living for remote employees
I believed that this is going to be a big trend in the next 10 years but corona speeded it up.
Many people would like to try this experience first, before making a move.
Does the countryside have the good infrastructure? Huge opportunity.

9/ Coworking cabins
You've seen many mashups of different concepts in this thread.
One more: Safe workspace + fast internet + cabin in nature.
I built a prototype of one the last year: https://www.peterfabor.com/posts/building-a-marketplace-for-prefab-houses-using-no-code-tools
Don't build, check out these prefabs: https://instagram.com/epicmondaycom/
