Many campsite owners struggle with the decision between safari tents and mobile homes. But, more and more campsite owners are making the choice of safari tents. These owners are offering glamping accommodation to attract more guests. We agree with that choice and think it’s the best decision. Here are four reasons why we do.
Glamping is more popular than ever
Glamping is undeniably very popular and one of the travel industry’s hottest trends. An increasing number of people are enjoying an escape from home without sacrificing any of its comforts by trying luxurious camping. Guests often say, “this is how we want to camp!” No need to just take our word for this. Glamping Business has conducted research that shows that glamping makes good business sense.
Quality is key
Food is no longer thought to just be something necessary. Food, particularly great quality food, is a hobby, interest, and passion for many people. The millennial generation, those in their early 20s to mid-30s, eat out more than any generation and spend large amounts of money on food. Millennials love trying new things and frequently seek out new food experiences from various regions, cuisines, and countries. Millennials like to eat in communal settings and they value local foods. Take advantage of this trend by being adventurous in your food offerings. Don’t just have reheated frozen pizza on the menu. Give your guests the high-quality food they want.
Provide a personal touch
Many companies around the world are taking a personal approach with their consumers. Today’s consumers enjoy interaction. This is especially the case in the travel industry. So, get to know your guests. Engage in conversation with them asking about their likes and dislikes. Recommend a bottle of wine or a dish that you think they will enjoy. Make your guests feel welcomed and appreciated by offering a complimentary welcome drink or a discount in the restaurant.
Make it family-friendly
If your campsite attracts families then make sure you are thinking about the needs of a family. Offer a children’s menu to make them happy when dining. If guests take day trips then perhaps provide them with a picnic to take along. Keep the children entertained with a safe play area or playground. Could you position the play area near the restaurant? Doing so allows the children to play while the parents keep watch while enjoying a nice meal or drink. Maybe even provide an entertainer for the children. If the kids are happy then the parents are happy!
Offer sustainable options on your menu
Sustainability is immensely popular and trendy with consumers. Many consumers hold sustainability as their chief criteria and actively seek out sustainable options. Make your offerings sustainable by choosing seasonal produce from local suppliers. Promote local foods — wine, cheese, and bread. Maybe there is a local chef that you can work with to offer a cooking class on the region’s specialties. Consider the various dietary restrictions your guests might have and include vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu. This will help you attract the widest group of guests possible.
Take inspiration from the French and offer a Table d’Hôte experience
In France, it is typical for a Bed & Breakfast or glamping site owner to organize a Table d’Hôte that provides a limited menu including a three-course dinner created with locally grown produce. A Table d’Hôte does not require a restaurant to be onsite. You can use your own kitchen or facilities to prepare your guests dinner at a set time. This type of offering allows guests the luxury of not having to cook their own dinner and provides you the benefit of keeping the guests at your campsite. This offering is a great way to get everyone together for a communal dining experience and a pleasant sociable evening.
