Glamping, which comes from the words "camping" and "glamour", has become increasingly popular in recent years. Its peculiarity lies in comfortable outdoor living, which cannot be provided by a regular camping trip.

Glamping is not available for ordinary tourists travelling alone. Usually, it can be offered by hotel complexes that rent out advanced tents as hotel rooms. Market Watch talked about the peculiarities of expensive unity with nature.

Glamping combines luxury and wilderness, which makes it more expensive than a holiday in a skyscraper in the middle of the city. It looks like a large tent with lights, doors and a bed for convenience.

Such houses are filled with plush pillows, include a Wi-Fi bathroom, furniture, and other interior items. The advantage of glamping is the fresh air, easy access to nature, and privacy.

Those tourists who would like to visit the forest or mountains but are not ready to give up the comforts will definitely love glamorous camping. Interestingly, tents can be made not only of fabric but also of transparent plastic, stone, wood, etc.

The described hotel complexes are located in different countries of the world. Usually, they are located away from cities to give holidaymakers a break from the noise. Parks, forests, mountains, fields, and other places where the human hand has not touched nature are perfect for glamping.

The price for one such "tent" sometimes reaches $900 per night. Less elite locations with more modest offers can offer a holiday for half the price.
