Exploring Eco-Friendly Travel Trends. Eco-friendly travel creates new trends. Glamping is a trend that is found in all parts of the world and all price ranges. Many of us love nature and want to fight to keep it pristine, but we still want a clean bed, a warm bath or shower and maybe a gourmet meal to fill our tummies after a day of hiking in the woods. And many of us even want to sleep next to the trees separated with only a luxury canvas tent and hope that the bears don’t join us for a night’s sleep.

Why Glamping?

It’s Ecologically Friendly: With glamping, less is more. Glamping doesn’t require construction and management. Its accommodations use the surrounding element of nature. For example, it may include: composting toilets, solar power, and working gardens.

You Can’t Get Any Closer to Nature: Glamping lets you connect with and experience nature. It let’s you escape the bustle and noise of the city and sameness of the suburbs. It provides a place to relax and recharge.

The Adventures are Endless: The choices range from hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting, canoeing, and animal watching to luxury hotel and resorts with outdoor sleeping accommodations to wine tasting. There’s such a variety places and activities. From Norway, where you can stay in yurt-style accommodations that place you in the best mountain biking terrain in the world to The United States with luxury camping sites in some of it’s most breathtaking national parks. The adventures continue and are as vast as the big sky.

Amusement parks and campgrounds join the glamping trend. 

This is attractive to people who’d like to enjoy the atmosphere of a camping trip but don’t want the hassles of setting up a tent, starting a campfire, sleeping on the ground, and all the extra work to get a campsite ready. Plus there is the fun that amusement parks offer to families.
