[Anahola, 11/21/23] The glamping market in North America is projected to grow at around 12.6 percent between 2023 and 2030. The increasing consumer impact on social media is driving this growth. The industry is also benefiting from attractive vacation packages and discounts offered by tourism websites. American cities are leveraging festivals to attract talent and promote business.
What is Glamping?
Glamping, short for glamorous camping, has emerged as a highly popular trend among consumers in the United States. Moreover, the increasing frequency of concerts and major music events around the globe is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the glamping industry in the future.
Comfortable Camping
Glamping is a form of camping popular among the younger generation and offers an escape without compromising comfort. The allure of plush furnishings and cozy beds attracts consumers more than traditional camping. Initiatives by Airbnb and local governments promoting the benefits of glamping are expected to impact the market in the forecast period positively.
Consumer Preference
Glamping's growth in the coming years is also due to the preference for glamping over traditional camping, increased availability of time for travel, and consumers' willingness to pay for luxury experiences. Sykes, a UK-based vacation rental company, has reported a significant 45 percent increase in glamping reservations in 2021 compared to 2019.
Staycations
Staycations offer a range of options for those wanting a getaway close to home. This trend is expected to boost the glamping market, where nature-loving vacationers can indulge in luxurious accommodations and exciting activities. Stress relief and relaxation are key drivers, but the growing demand for ecotourism and a healthy lifestyle will have an even greater impact on this sector.
Accommodations
In 2022, the pods and cabin segment dominated the market with a 39.3 percent share. Luxury accommodations such as pods and cabins have gained popularity as campers seek immersive experiences without sacrificing comfort. Eco pods, which utilize local, natural, and recycled resources, are increasingly favored for ecotourism, offering protection from the weather while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.
Tent Segment
The glamping market's tents segment is projected to have a compound annual growth rate or CAGR of 13.8 percent from 2023-2030. Outdoor tourist companies offer luxury amenities such as AC, TV, Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds in tents, providing a mix of camping and comfort. National parks and wildlife add to the appeal. Booking platforms and travel agents simplify tent selection for customers.
The North American glamping industry is poised for impressive growth in the coming years. Factors such as the rising influence of social media, increasing consumer preference for luxury experiences, and the growth of staycations all contribute to this positive trajectory. Accommodations like eco pods and luxury tents are gaining popularity, indicating a shift towards high-end, comfortable, and environmentally-conscious camping experiences. With strategic marketing on digital platforms and convenient booking systems, the glamping trend is expected to persist and flourish, transforming the landscape of outdoor tourism.
