CAMPING IS NOW OFFICIALLY GLAMPING


According to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, the sale of outdoor activity equipment has gone up by 25 per cent during the pandemic. I am guessing there are quite a few reasons why this would happen. The primary reason in my mind is that al to of people THINK their travel opportunities have been curtailed, despite the fact that there are still many countries open to tourists.

So they can stay local and still have a family experience. of course, the entertainment industry has been hit very hard. Globally theatres, cinemas, pubs and restaurants have closed at least for the short term.


Amazingly many things within the camping industry have shot up in price and popularity. About fifteen years ago two brothers who were keen fishermen took a $15 dollar cooler prototype and turned it into a $300 designer product. Interestingly the share price for this company plummeted from $38 dollars a the beginning of the recession and now it is over $50

The Journal suggests this outdoor popularity to other interests such as golfing, hiking and biking. A recent survey from the Kampgrounds of America chain found that a quarter of the people who responded to their survey had taken their first-ever camping trip during the pandemic

Very true, indeed, Catherine!

That’s one of my niches.

Good choice

Glamping is very popular in Norway. It helps people who are not so accustomed to nature get the feel of being in nature and an outdoorperson while having all the comforts they have at home as well.

Yes my only camping experience of camping was glamping in Kenya thirty years ago LOL I coped because I had a bathroom

Great idea, especially during this pandemic. I’ve gone camping ten times since this pandemic! It’s a lot of fun

That's confirmation then for anyone thinking about going into camping

Thanks for sharing Catherine.
