The concept of glamping is already a success abroad for some time, where is booming. However, this form of camping is still not very common practice in European countries, despite being one of the most recent bets of nature tourism.

The word glamping come from the fusion of the glamour and camping expressions. After getting to know the origin of this word, it is not difficult to imagine what it would be like to stay in a tent, but with all the comforts of a hotel room, with more creative decoration than just your nested bags in the corner due to lack of space, as in a common tent, with several extra services that are not available in a common campsite.
