This video is made by Dr. Pearl Lin and Dr. Clare Fung's project, "Great Case of Marketing in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry." A special thanks to Tang Xiaodan, who provided information and insights for this video. This case discusses a 2017 crowdfunding project for a glamping (glamorous camping) experience in Murren. The project aimed to build a community of like-minded individuals who wanted to escape the city and experience rural life. The marketing strategy involved emotional appeals, social media, and partner selection to attract investors and create a sense of shared values and resources. The crowdfunding was successful, establishing a unique homestay and camping brand with a strong community culture.
