What is Glamping?
Glamping is a combination of the words "glamorous" and "camping," and refers to luxurious and comfortable camping. Unlike traditional camping, glamping allows you to enjoy nature while relaxing in a comfortable environment similar to that of a hotel.
Although it is more expensive than regular travel or camping, it is already becoming established as a new outdoor standard in recent years because it allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a sense of the extraordinary.
There is no need to set up a tent, chop firewood, or start a fire, so it is highly recommended for beginners and families.
