1. What is your motivation?

First you need to work out exactly why you want to buy glamping tents and start a glamping business – did you stay at one as a guest and loved the experience? Is it a way of leaving behind the nine to five routine of work? Or do you see it as a financial opportunity? Can you bring something new to the market? Identify your motivation and write a list of the pros and the cons – so that you have a realistic view of what you want to achieve.


2. Who are you targeting?

If you’re all fired up and ready to start a glamping business, which potential market are you targeting? Is it families with children, couples, maybe the wedding market or groups of people wanting a wellness retreat? Couples seeking a romantic trip away from it all may not want to stay next to a family with young children, for example.

Other things to consider include: what is their average age? Where do they come from? What are their interests? What do they want from a holiday? Having identified who you are going to target then you can create a persona for your ideal guest – a representation of the type of person you really want to stay at your site.


3. Location and accommodation

What’s your ideal location? Is it near the coast, or in a forest? Is it close to a city or tourist destination? Is it close to good transport links? Location is vital, as is the type of accommodation you choose, whether that is a luxury safari tent with bathroom or a  larger lodge that’s suitable for family groups. We at YALA luxury canvas lodges are passionate about glamping and make a wide range of accommodations to suit all types of guests from the Sparkle designed for couples looking for a romantic break to the Dreamer designed for families seeking for luxury and space.

4. Laws and regulations

When you start your glamping business you will need to comply with local rules and regulations and get the necessary permits and paperwork. This will vary from country to country and local authorities may also have their own rules too. Start by contacting the local authority to find out what you need to do. Do you want to know more? Read our blog about laws and regulations!

5. Financing

You will need a business plan if you are applying for finance from a bank. Businesses in any sector can fail and it’s often down to bad planning. You will need to produce a business plan that sets out all the details of how this business will work – including the target market, what makes your business different from the competition, how the glamping market is expanding and your projected income. You will also need to produce a cost-benefit analysis, including the costs of the safari tents.

6. Other things to consider

You will need to create a strong brand and identity for your business. What are you going to call your glamping site? How are you going to market it? How will you reach potential guests? Have you got a good website? Can you sign up with local tourist organisations, for example, so they can help promote your site? If you want to find out more about starting a glamping business, feel free to contact YALA luxury canvas lodges.

    Hello everyone, I am Arnnette Speak from the USA and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Pedro Jerome for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, i was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organizations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request.

Besides, he doesn't know that I am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company who truly gives out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces.
