Glamping a New Paradigm in Tourism

Abstract

Glamping is a new and innovative type of tourism very linked to nature. The objective of this article is to define a comprehensive concept of Glamping, through the image perceived by the individuals that use this type of tourism. A qualitative methodology with content analysis and comments from tourists was used to define the attachment and interaction with the place that Glamping propitiates. For this purpose we use a sample of comments posted by glamping tourists who suggest an almost spiritual dive in nature although other interactions are evidenced in perfect articulation. Although exploratory this work demonstrates that Glamping is a tourist experience capable of renewing the concept of camping.
