It is a well-known fact that the tourism sector is one of the most rapidly developing and growing sectors. A big part of this rapid change is determined by different holiday concepts and economic reasons. The new holiday concepts created by foreign tourists’ travels outside our country start to become widespread in our country after a while. The more standard vacation period in places such as hotels and hostels was replaced by spending time in nature and camping. The serious decrease in the number of green areas in cities full of concrete piles allows people to breathe in natural areas, at least during vacations. This understanding, which is also described as rural tourism, allows people to move from cities to nature and become simpler. The necessity to get away from crowded environments caused by the corona pandemic has accelerated tourism differentiation. The increase in the time spent in recreation areas such as hobby gardens, parks and gardens is also highly related to this situation.
In addition to camping, where adventurous nature enthusiasts carry camping equipment such as tents and sleeping bags, vacations in camping areas have also been organized in Turkey for a long time. Camping areas are areas established near natural beauties such as highways, city entrances, sea, lakes and mountains. Caravan, bungalow, tent camping areas make it easier to have a vacation in a slightly more comfortable way than classic camping. In our country, which is very prone to rural tourism with its natural beauties, investing in camping areas is a logical and profitable choice for operators. Glamping tourism, which has become widespread especially in foreign countries in recent years, has started to develop among entrepreneurs in our country. So, to briefly explain the question of what Glamping tourism is, we can call it a luxury camping where camping lovers and vacationers who are fond of comfort stay without the need for equipment such as tents and beds. Dormitory tents, bungalows, huts and geodesic dome tents with bed, water, electricity and refrigerator are very attractive for your guests.
Rural tourism, which will be created without harming natural beauties, seems to leave behind the classic holiday understanding for a sustainable life. Rural tourism, which is called eco-tourism, also allows the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK) to popularize this sector with the support projects carried out in this field. In this content, you can find the details you need to know about the idea of creating a glamping hotel to open a camping area with a new initiative or to further develop your facility where you already operate a camping area and offer your guests a unique glamping camping experience in nature.
