Glamping

The Camping market in NAFTA has been experiencing significant growth and evolution in recent years.

Customer preferences: Customers in the NAFTA region are increasingly drawn to camping as a way to disconnect from the fast-paced modern world and reconnect with nature. The desire for outdoor experiences, adventure, and sustainability has been driving the demand for camping equipment and accessories.

Trends in the market: In the United States, camping has become a popular choice for family vacations, with more people opting for camping trips over traditional holidays. This trend has led to an increase in the sales of camping gear, including tents, sleeping bags, and portable stoves. Additionally, there is a growing interest in luxury camping options, such as glamping, which offer a more comfortable and upscale camping experience.

Local special circumstances: In Canada, the vast and diverse natural landscapes provide ample opportunities for camping enthusiasts. From the Rocky Mountains to the coastal regions, campers can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching. This abundance of natural resources has contributed to the popularity of camping in the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The strengthening economy in Mexico has led to an increase in disposable income among the population, allowing more people to afford camping trips and equipment. Additionally, government initiatives to promote tourism and outdoor recreation have further boosted the camping market in the country. The combination of these factors has created a favorable environment for the growth of the camping industry in NAFTA.
