Introducing Glamping.com - The First Curated Glamping Guide For The Experiential Traveler

NEW YORK, May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
