1. The growth of glamping
The demand for adventurous experiences has made glamping (glamorous camping) very popular in all four corners of the world. From traditional tented lodges in Africa, rugged log cabins up on the Alps, to modern-day camps such as Hoshinoya Fuji in Japan, travellers are seeking to connect with nature via a grown-up take on camping. Here's a twist on the trend: Lightfoot Travel predicts that "camperneering"—travelling in luxurious camper vans—will be a hit in 2018, especially in destinations like Bolivia.
