The Rise of Agritourism in Glamping

Have you noticed how more people are craving authentic rural escapes but don’t want to give up their home comforts? That’s where agritourism and glamping come together perfectly. It’s not just about staying on a farm - it’s about immersing yourself in nature, learning where food comes from, and enjoying cozy, stylish accommodations at the same time. Whether it’s a luxury safari tent overlooking rolling fields or a shepherd’s hut nestled on a working farm, this trend is booming. Travelers are looking for meaningful, sustainable experiences, and farm stays with glamping setups are meeting that demand. If you’re a landowner, this could be a golden opportunity. Let’s dive into what’s driving this trend and how to make the most of it.
