Hello glamping, goodbye mobile homes

Camping is growing in popularity across Europe, the United States and Canada, as more and more people discover the joys of getting closer to nature. Nowadays, people want to camp in style and, rather than opting for a basic tent, or an outdated mobile home, they are choosing glamping.

The demand for luxury
Often, mobile homes are outdated and basic. They no longer meet the expectations of potential guests who prefer more luxurious, shorter breaks. They are looking for a glamorous, but affordable stay in an accommodation that provides a real home from home. Think about offering a safari tent, complete with its own bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and perhaps a hot tub. Mobile homes simply no longer make the grade. Check out the possibilities of our glamping lodges.

Campsites are replacing mobile homes with glamping tents
Over the last couple of years, a growing number of campsite owners have replaced old mobile homes and chalets with luxury safari tents to create glamping fields. Consumers want to try something new. Glamping offers style and luxury, which appeals to a large group of people who may never have considered a camping holiday before. Safari tents and lodges not only offer the facilities these guests demand, but also improve the general appearance of campsites and besides, broaden their appeal to potential holidaymakers.

Increase your revenue with glamping tents throughout the season
If you are the owner of a campsite with mobile homes or chalets, there is a good chance that you rent these out to regular guests each season, or perhaps even permanently. When guests pay you a fixed amount each year, it sounds like a good deal because it’s income you can count on. However, you could earn more by renting glamping tents throughout the season. We are seeing high demand for glamping in the pre- and post-season (April until October). This means that you can extend the period in which you can rely on a steady stream of guests. Your regular mobile home guests may be interested in trying glamping – and in staying for longer – but you can also rent out glamping tents to a wider pool of potential guests.

External booking parties
It’s a good idea to join external booking parties, to make the most of your accommodation. They help you to increase your occupancy rate by bringing your destination to the attention of your target group.

If you are considering replacing your mobile homes with glamping tents, we can advise you! Please contact us for more information.

Glamping pioneers changed the game in Bosnia

When you think of Bosnia, the words tourism and glamping may not be the first things most people think of. However, Bosnia is on its way to becoming an upcoming destination. Tourism is a fast-growing sector and a rising star in the Balkan. In 2019 Bosnia-Herzegovina was visited by 1,990.451 tourists: an increase of 23.6%. And guess what? 74.4% of the tourists came from foreign countries. Most visitors spend their vacation in holiday homes, but some trendsetters were lucky to be one of the first guests at  gorgeous glamping Bagrem . This is where the story about two  game-changers  in tourism begins. In 2020, Denis and his wife Maja wanted to invest in a small-scale holiday park at their beloved Jablanica lake. This “Bosnian Blue lagoon” is a popular holiday destination between the towns of Konjic and Jablanica (only 70km from Sarajevo and 60km from Mostar). Despite that Bosnia is in the heart of Europe, it is still a country with pristine nature, from mountain ranges, clear rivers, and
