Glamping is a unique way to immerse yourself in the great outdoors without depriving yourself of the contemporary comforts, luxuries and amenities that you’re accustomed to when you stay in modern accommodations.
The glamping industry has grown exponentially, attracting millennials and Gen-Z travelers worldwide, and amassing an impressive market size of 2.35 billion USD in 2022.
There are a wide variety of accommodations that are considered to be in the glamping category including:
- Airstreams
- Barns
- Cabins
- Cottages
- Domes
- Huts
- Lodges
- Pods
- Tents
- Tipis
- Treehouses
- Villas
- Yurts
Each type is different from the others, attracting nature lovers and design enthusiasts with themed interiors inspired by indigenous cultures around the world.
For instance, modern-day yurts are inspired by the housing of the nomadic tribes of Central Asia and Mongolia, while Tipis are traced back to the lodgings of Mexican hunter-gatherers and Native American tribes.
