Why Your Lodge Needs an Advisor Who Actually Understands Adventure Hospitality

“A business consultant is like a guide in the backcountry—hire the wrong one, and you’re lost. Hire the right one, and you reach your destination faster, safer, and with fewer blisters.”

Running an adventure lodge or remote resort isn’t the same as running a boutique hotel or a city-based luxury retreat. It’s an entirely different beast—one that standard business consultants don’t understand.

Your lodge isn’t just about bookings and spreadsheets. It’s about:
✔ Managing a remote operation with unpredictable supply chains.
✔ Keeping guests safe while delivering top-tier adventure experiences.
✔ Hiring staff who can handle everything from guest check-ins to emergency response.
✔ Creating an unforgettable experience that keeps guests coming back—without sacrificing efficiency or profitability.

And if you bring in a traditional hospitality consultant who only knows city hotels?
They’ll give you a cookie-cutter strategy that doesn’t work in the wilderness.

That’s where I come in.


The Unique Challenges of Running an Adventure Lodge

Let’s be honest—running a backcountry lodge is a logistical nightmare without the right systems in place.

📌 Your operations aren’t “standard.”
Most hotels and resorts don’t have to worry about weather delays, generator failures, or food supply deliveries coming in by boat or bush plane.

📌 Hiring & retention are harder.
Finding experienced, adaptable staff who are willing to work in a remote location (and actually thrive there) is a challenge most consultants won’t even consider.

📌 Your guest expectations are different.
City hotels focus on fluffy robes and room service. Your guests want wild adventure, but with just the right amount of comfort and exceptional service.

📌 Marketing is tougher.
You’re not competing with the chain hotels down the street. You’re competing for high-value guests who need a reason to choose your lodge over another bucket-list destination.

📌 Profit margins are tight.
Adventure lodges aren’t high-turnover, volume-driven businesses. Every inefficiency—whether in guest experience, staffing, or operations—costs you money.

If you’re relying on trial and error to figure all of this out, it’s going to cost you—in time, in frustration, and in lost revenue.

That’s why you need a consultant who knows the adventure lodge business inside and out.

The Cost of NOT Having the Right Advisor

🤯 Operational Headaches – Staff turnover, inefficient systems, and supply chain failures aren’t just frustrating—they’re expensive.

📉 A Lodge That’s “Good” but Never Great – The difference between a decent lodge and a must-visit destination? Strategy. Experience. Execution.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

With the right consultant, your lodge doesn’t just run smoother—it thrives.
