1. Take advantage of your location
Your location is the first thing that causes »wow« effect on your guests. A lake under mountains, sandy beaches and sea, a clearing in the woods in the middle of untouched nature. All those locations cause people get feelings and emotions, which is very important, as they will remember, return and spread a word about a fantastic glamping location by those feelings.
Second advantage of a good location are the things that the location itself offers. A lake or sea could be used to rent a boat or a surf. There is also an increase in a new trend called »supping«, which provides lots of fun. If your glamping is located in mountains, extra value could be climbing, guided mountain tours or picnic locations on viewpoints, where couples can create unforgetable memories while having a fantastic view.
2. Fruit trees and flower
A beautiful flower garden makes a beautiful glamping destination. People are attracted to beauty, that is why well arranged destinations are more popular. A destination should consist of lots of colourful flowers, which will liven up the environment and they will have a positive effect on your guests. Besides, it is good to have some fruit trees planted, so that guests can enjoy in fresh fruits in the mornings and by doing so, they get an even better experience of being one with nature.
3. Privacy
Location and tidiness could be on the highest level, but it does not help if a neighbour constantly watches your plate. Privacy is an element that is important for every single one of us. We are social beings, but we still appreciate our own peace and privacy. Because of that, glamping houses should be distant one from another properly. If this is not possible because of a small location, fences in a proper height are enough to ensure the guests a peaceful experience of drinking a morning coffee.
4. Offer extra services
Holiday is a time of relaxation and a wide selection of wellness services is more and more important. Massages, saunas, hot tubs and other similar services rise the value of your destination. Especially, if everything is within your guest’s grasp. Also, sport activities like rafting, kayaking, zipline etc. are more than welcome. This way, guests will be able to enjoy in diverse days.
5. Eco pool
Eco pools are a great addition to your glamping destination. Guests of glamping campsites want to awaken their touch with nature. That is why ordinary pools are not the best solution, because they do not offer that little extra. On the other side, the eco pools offer just that. A natural source of water without any chemicals directly from the source is a big plus. It is an authentic nature in all its purity and intactness
6. Authentic food and drinks
Guests want to experience everything and even more on their vacation. They want to feel the beat of a city or a country. Local food and drinks are a very important part of that beat. They represent history of the region and their lifestyle. That is why it is important to have authentic dishes in your offer, which are made by following homemade recipes and are served just like at home. Only that way will guests truly experience the beat. When choosing a location, be bold and prepare a dinner on a beach or on a sightseeing point, where guests can enjoy their view while drinking a homemade wine.
7. Tidiness and deanliness
Those two are the most important aspects of every tourist place. No matter how good the offer, activities, location or food are, everything is meaningless if houses are full of dust, ways are overgrown and untidy or bathroom facilities are not cleaned daily. We have already mentioned the attraction of beauty and here the beauty is even more important. It is necessary to take care of cleanliness of the houses, gardens, walking paths or eco pools daily. Besides, this should be done discreetly without bothering your guests.
8. Customer comments and comlains book
It should be in every glamping house. It is a good indicator of what we are doing right and what should be done better. The book represents personal reactions of guests, from which we can plan for the future and from which we can learn and gain insight into your guests’ experience. It is an investment for the future, as we can plan new activities or remove some of them straight from guests’ reactions.
9. Details that do a big difference
Little things, which require very little effort, can make a huge difference. Chocolates on pillows, hombrewed beer in a fridge, special gifts when guests are leaving are the little things that essentially affect the final impression. Guests will remember those things, when they will be talking about their vacation and it may happen that such a small thing like a basket of fruit will lead to another visit.
10. Marketing
Glamping destination can have all the elements mentioned above, but if noone knows about it, it does not exist. That is why it is necessary to take care of recognisability. You should use all the social media available, different tourist portals and forums. You should invest money in advertising boards and TV advertisement. But the most important is a good word that spreads among people. A satisfied guest is the most convincing one, that is why everyone should be treated with respect and you should offer your guests an unforgetable experience.
