What is glamping?
The word glamping is a combination of the words glamor and camping - glamorous camping, which was established in the early 2000s in Great Britain.
Glamping is one of the directions of ecotourism. Outdoor recreation in special tents with all the furnishings: bed, kitchen, bathroom.
This type of tourism is intended for those who want to relax in close contact with nature but in comfortable conditions. This means that glamping is not much different from our usual camping with tents, but the level of comfort is extremely different. Glamping gives us the opportunity to wake up surrounded by nature in a warm, cozy bed with white bedding and prepare breakfast in the kitchen or multifunctional grill.
Interesting facts from the history of glamping
Interestingly, the idea of living in a tent with comfort is nothing new. Medieval kings can be considered as the first glampers, which lived in huge tents with all needed furnishings during their war campaigns.
This way of life has become more and more popular among American and European travelers, who discovered the African continent. Their temporary homes contained not only comfortable beds but also entire libraries and bathtubs.
In its modern form, glamping emerged in Great Britain in the first half of the 2000s, when summer festivals began to offer comfortable campsites for their visitors.
In Ukraine, the popularity of this type of recreation had just begun.
