What is glamping?
First, let us briefly explain glamping.
Glamping is a coined word that combines "glamorous" and "camping", which means "elegant", and is a new outdoor style that allows you to stay luxuriously and comfortably in the midst of nature.
No need to pack camping gear, no need to be hot, no need to worry about bugs. All the hassles are eliminated. The casual enjoyment of the outdoors has caught fire over the past few years and is attracting a great deal of attention around the world.
