Today's concept of glamping has its roots in these earlier forms of luxury camping. In a positive twist on these old forms of tent-living, however, glamping today is not within the exclusive purview of the rich. To the contrary, some form of glamping is accessible to most travelers: a quick search for glamping accommodations around the world reveals an incredible range of per night prices.
While the number of international glamping options has skyrocketed since the word first appeared in 2005, the main philosophy behind glamping has remained the same: sustainable, quasi-outdoor lodging that offer travelers comfortable experiences in nature.
