BOZEMAN, Mont. - Glamping - short for glamorous camping - is on the rise across the nation in tents, yurts, tipis and treehouses. A new association, the American Glamping Association, plans to create professional industry standards and ratings across this growing U.S. travel category. Co-founders of the organization are Sarah Dusek, CEO of Under Canvas, and Ruben Martinez,Co-Founder & CSO of Glamping Hub, both major players in the glamping movement.
The goal of new association is to increase the level of professionalism within the industry in addition to providing travelers with more knowledge, to eliminate unmet consumer expectations. “There is a lack of clarity for the consumer about what glamping is. We are simply starting the conversation and encouraging all the major players in the glamping community to join the association,” says Dusek.
Glamping dates back to 19th-Century African wildlife safaris and is currently experiencing explosive growth. It’s an attractive option for travelers who seek an outdoor experience without the hassle of setting up a tent or sleeping on the ground.
