    Analyst Opinion

    The Camping market in ASEAN is experiencing a notable surge in popularity, driven by a growing interest in outdoor activities and eco-tourism across the region.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in ASEAN countries are increasingly seeking unique and immersive travel experiences, leading to a rise in camping as a preferred accommodation choice. The desire to reconnect with nature, escape urban settings, and engage in sustainable tourism practices is fueling the demand for camping experiences.

    Trends in the market:
    In Thailand, camping near picturesque beaches and lush national parks has become a popular trend among both locals and tourists. The country's diverse landscapes offer a wide range of camping options, from beachfront campsites to mountainous retreats. Additionally, the rise of glamping (luxury camping) in Thailand caters to travelers seeking a more upscale outdoor experience. In Malaysia, the Camping market is witnessing a shift towards adventure camping, with more travelers seeking adrenaline-pumping activities such as jungle trekking, rock climbing, and white-water rafting. This trend is driving the development of camping sites in remote and rugged locations, offering visitors a chance to explore Malaysia's pristine natural beauty. Indonesia is experiencing a rise in family camping trips, with parents looking to instill a love for nature in their children from a young age. Campgrounds in Indonesia are increasingly offering family-friendly amenities and activities, such as nature walks, wildlife spotting, and outdoor cooking classes, to cater to this growing segment of campers.

    Local special circumstances:
    In Singapore, where land scarcity is a challenge, camping enthusiasts are exploring alternative camping options such as rooftop camping and camping aboard traditional bumboat boats. These unique camping experiences provide a novel way for city dwellers to enjoy the outdoors without venturing far from urban conveniences.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The economic growth and rising disposable incomes in ASEAN countries are enabling more people to afford camping equipment and experiences. Additionally, government initiatives promoting eco-tourism and sustainable travel practices are creating a favorable environment for the camping market to thrive in the region.
