Newly launched website features collection of high-end experiential travel destinations offering travelers options to get off the beaten path without leaving the lap of luxury.
NEW YORK – A global trend has caught fire that offers travel and outdoor enthusiasts an upgrade on rest and recreation. It’s called glamping, a new term for a new kind of travel, originally defined as glamorous camping. Now the term glamping is evolving to encompass experiential travel vacations featuring non-traditional accommodations. Whether it’s a safari-style tent, yurt, airstream trailer, eco-pod, igloo, hut, villa, teepee or treehouse, glamping is a way to experience the great outdoors without sacrificing luxury.
Experiential travel could be defined as heading off the beaten path and becoming immersed in the authentic local culture or environment. It’s a journey involving a truly memorable experience that will enrich a person’s life and improve the way that they connect with both loved ones and with the world.
Glamping.com enables visitors to explore this form of travel by featuring a refined collection of destinations from around the world that best fulfill their experiential travel wish list. Glamping.com is unique in that it has established a set of standards that properties must meet to be admitted into the collection – including a mandatory 4-star or higher rating on TripAdvisor amongst others.
Hotels and resorts offering glamping experiences recognize Glamping.com as the ideal showcase for their brand because of its clean design, large imagery displays, intuitive navigation and seamless integration of social media channels. Some of the exclusive Glamping.com charter members include Four Seasons Golden Triangle in Thailand, Longitude 131 in Australia, Aman-i-Khas in India, Sanctuary Retreats in Africa, Virgin Limited Resorts, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Canada, Four Rivers Floating Lodge in Cambodia, as well as The Resort at Paws Up and Dunton Hot Springs in the United States.
“We’ve only been signed up for a short period, but have been really pleased with the web traffic we’ve received from the listing,” stated Christina Rossi of Colorado’s Dunton Hot Springs. “The site is very well put together, the team professional and quick.”
Annual search volume on Google for the keyword, “glamping,” exceeds 1.6 million. Glamping.com consistently ranks in the top three search results for this popular keyword.
