Transform Your Property Into a Glamping Retreat Oasis

by | Oct 28, 2022

What is Glamping?

Glamping is where nature meets modern luxury. It provides a way for adventure-minded tourists to reach unreachable destinations. Or it can be a nature-infused escape for folks who need some fresh air but prefer feather beds over sleeping bags. Glamping properties, often showcasing high-quality canvas tents, can take advantage of nature tourism in a way that large hotels cannot.

Why Glamping?

  • Other emerging industries prop it up. The versatility of the Glamping space makes it the perfect complement to other growing industries such as; health and wellness tourism, adventure and outdoor enthusiasts, luxury travelers, and more! Data Bridge Market Research summarizes this concept nicely, “These accommodations assist in mitigating the impact of seasonality on business performance and remaining competitive”.
  • It is low risk and high reward. Canvas tents make for great luxury accommodations while being a low-cost, small-risk investment compared to more permanent lodging structures.
  • Rural property owners can dominate the local Glamping market. The rural area segment occupied more than three-fourths of the total market share in 2018, growing at a CAGR of around 15% during the forecast period
  • Events are the fastest-growing end-user segment in the US market. At a CAGR of over 16% during the forecast period (2018-2024), there is a growing demand for tented, glamping-inspired experiences.
  • It’s a fun and exciting way to make money. Some of the most popular glamping events include music festivals, weddings, corporate retreats, wellness retreats, parties, product releases, photo/ film shoots, Bar mitzvahs, galas, reunions, trade shows, and conferences.
In May 2022, Data Bridge Market Research issued an industry forecast stating, “Global Glamping Market was valued at USD 2.77 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 8.041 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 12.80% during the forecast period of 2022-2029”. 

There is room for everyone!

Where do I fit in?

The short answer is anywhere you like! The beauty of the Glamping industry is that there are endless opportunities. Have a rural property with a scenic view? Throw up a few tents and start a seasonal Airbnb. Or host a yoga retreat. Prefer traveling? Rent a truck and take your tents on the road. Endless festivals and outdoor events are looking to outsource a high-end lodging solution for their guests.
