Abstract

The redesigning of camping products based on a neo-comfort tourist trend is a new concept. This study aims to define glamping and identify glamping accommodation attributes according to camping experts’ opinions. A structured questionnaire was used to survey campsite managers and camping equipment producers. Results indicate that glamping accommodation is mostly seen as referring to treehouses, unusual forms of accommodation and fully equipped tents. The main features of a glamping accommodation are top-level equipment and amenities, high-quality services and a natural environment. Fully half of respondents do not consider a mobile home as being a glamping accommodation. Similar studies have not been conducted up to date, making the current study original. Because of its focus on understanding glamping from the perspective of camping experts rather than from the perspective of guests, this paper contributes to broadening the conceptual understanding of glamping and provides a platform for further research.
