How to Turn Your Glamping Site Into a Glamping Resort
Glamping vs Camping
Glamping is a mixture of the words; “glamorous” + “camping”. These days, the number of people who are interested in glamping has been increasing and it is said that glamping is one of the most promising businesses in 10 years.
Here are the main differences between glamping and camping.
(1) Internet connection
In most cases, the connection to the internet is not good and the service is limited in camping sites. Motivation for campers is escaping through “adventure”. On the contrary, glamper’s motivation is escaping through “fairy tale”. They need more connection with their family or friends through internet and they like using social media and post what they are doing on the spot.
(2) Service
Basically camping is DIY and campers need to prepare for everything such as sleeping beds, food and accommodations. However, all these things need to be prepared in glamping sites. In addition, glamping sites are required to add value. For example, they should own unique accommodations, new and unique activities (e.g. rafting, pizza baking), customized service, and good food and drinks.
(3) Cost

It’s absolutely No. Glampers prefer luxurious and comfortable environment. Therefore, target market for glampers are much more similar to people who like hotels.

They don’t have doors, which means unwelcome visitors such as wild animals and bugs can enter. If the next camping tent is closed to yours, they might hear what you are talking and know what you are doing. In the case of glamping, it is completely opposite. Glampers want to be comfortable and relaxed in a high privacy environment.
(5) Duration
It is said that glampers stay longer than campers. On average, glampers stay 10days. Therefore, you need to offer lots of variations of unique and interesting experiences to them in order to keep them entertained.
