In 2024, glamping trends enter a new era of style that will immerse many travelers and tourists in the locality of any site or town they visit. Whether it is glamping in the Philippines or internationally, this article will dive into glamping trends travelers might want to experience this year. Read on to learn more.
Smart Technology Integrated Accommodations
Even though glamping is already the upgraded version of camping, the rise of smart technology can further improve how we experience and connect with the outdoors. Smart technology is often seen in security devices like door access controls and general appliances such as lighting, washing machines, and fridges.
Now, it is seen through tech-enhanced glamping accommodations which pushes the definition of luxury in the activity. This can be through voice-controlled lighting systems where you can adjust and schedule the ambiance throughout the whole cabin. It can also be through the installation of smart climate control to make stays near hot and humid places more comfortable and smart entertainment appliances such as TVs and speakers.
The integration of this technology can make accommodations more appealing especially when set inside geometric dome tents. The futuristic look and convenience make a unique experience that families and friends would love.
More Thematic Designs and Style
Mainstream media loves a good theme that is curated to replicate pop culture materials like films, shows, music, and other trendy topics. This can be as simple and general as decorating the tent and space to be more bohemian, a common glamping style that people can achieve with bell tents.
Another aesthetic that people can curate is the luau theme. It is perfect for weekend beach getaways by the sea. Go-to symbols for this design are pineapples, coconuts, and palm trees.
For bookworms and movie buffs, the most distinct theme glamping experience is J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Frodo Baggins’ humble earthship home is a popular setting that many glamping accommodations replicate. It is because it is memorable and distinct with its round door, rustic feel, and overall coziness which many fans worldwide would want to experience for themselves.Â
Partnerships for Local Activities
Staying in another town or province is only cost-effective when guests can also maximize their trip. Many glamping accommodations, especially those in faraway areas, make it a point to partner with local businesses. This delivers potential customers and guests a more interactive and special experience while also differentiating them in the market.
This can be through available cooking lessons at the best restaurants in town or painting classes with a well-known artist in the province. Snorkeling or surfing lessons can also be offered at glamping sites with clear blue waters or fantastic waves.
These activities do not only make their trips worthwhile but they add options for guests of different ages. This means that while grandparents can lie by the private pools, teenagers can learn breathing and balance lessons in the ocean. An array of activities at glamping sites ensures the quality time guests can have with each other, nature, or themselves.Â
International Glamping Experiences
Outside the Philippines, the glamping experience allows travelers and tourists to add another level to their adventure. Travelers opting for glamping accommodations can take in foreign cultures in a different way. It is because camping has been around for many years.Â
Historically, human beings were once nomadic people. This means that groups of people used to move from place to place to find food or make a living. This fact leads to many cultures finding local materials and creating distinct designs and methods to create housing in their travels.Â
Traditional tents that can contribute to a more unique glamping experience could be staying at a lavvu in Finland and a yurt in Mongolia. Other tents that international guests can opt for can also be teepees, tupiqs, and kohtes.Â
Wellness-Focused Spaces
One of the many reasons people go glamping is to reconnect with nature. It is often the ideal activity to reduce stress from school or work. This is not surprising because nature can impact mental health. Spending time outdoors can ease anxiety and depression and improve your mood.Â
Many glamping sites further push the wellness benefits of nature through facilities and services that can relax guests. They are called wellness centers that offer alternative medicine such as acupuncture, ayurveda, and homeopathy. They provide guided meditations, forest bathing rituals, and digital detox packages to ensure stress reduction for guests.
Key Takeaway
Glamping is a unique outdoor experience that will continue to progress. Its development is often influenced by technological advances, traveler preferences, and local businesses. Consistent brainstorming ideas for glamping suppliers and sites will make this activity more convenient and one-of-a-kind.Â
