Here we have outlined the 6 key considerations that every aspiring glampsite owner should think about to guarantee a successful business.
It’s no secret that glamping pod holidays have become hugely popular in recent years. In fact, in 2020, the global glamping market was valued at a whopping £1.36 billion, with an expected annual growth rate of 14% between 2021 and 2028.
The glamping industry offers a lucrative route for farm diversification and a fulfilling career whatever your circumstances may be. With the massive growth in the industry in recent years, now is the perfect time to start a glamping site.
Interested in starting a glamping business? You’ve got good taste! Of course, as a glamping franchise we’re biased, but the numbers don’t lie: the glamping industry is booming right now.
The UK farming industry is going through a difficult time. Subsidy withdrawals and tightening legislation due to Brexit and the volatility of climate change and the UK economy means more and more farmers are considering diversification.
With COVID-19, Brexit and climate change all adding their own complexities and challenges to the UK farming industry, it’s no surprise that more and more farmers are now diversifying their businesses.
Farm diversification is a huge trend right now, and with the financial pressures brought on by Brexit and the boom in “staycations” rising from the pandemic, we’re sure you too have toyed with the idea of branching out into the hospitality industry.
A recent NFU survey found that 65% of farmers have diversified in some way and 48% of farmers are planning to start a diversification project or extend the one they already have up and running.
We probably don't need to tell you that glamping is all the rage and a trend that’s set to continue to grow! With this in mind, it's easy to see why so many people are interested in starting a glamping business of their own.
Glamping combines the creature comforts you’d expect to find at home, like heating and electricity, with the great outdoors that you’d experience with traditional camping. It’s a booming industry.
If you’re interested in getting started in the hospitality industry, you’ve probably devoted lots of time to figuring out what the right option for you is: a bed and breakfast, some holiday cottages or maybe a campsite.
So you’ve done a bit of research and have decided that you’d like a slice of the glamping marketplace. Congrats! It’s a great industry to be involved in, and it’s definitely having a bit of a moment: by 2020, the UK’s camping and caravanning industry is set to be worth £3.2 billion, with a lot of the growth being attributable to the rise of glamping.
If you’re interested in learning more about how to start a glamping business, one of the big questions you’ll need to figure out is whether you’ll need planning permission for installing your glamping pods.
