Glamping

The Camping market in Norway has been experiencing a significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: Norwegian customers are increasingly drawn to camping as a way to connect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities. The trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly practices is also influencing customer preferences, with many campers seeking environmentally conscious camping options.

Trends in the market: One notable trend in the Camping market in Norway is the popularity of glamping, which combines the experience of camping with luxury amenities. This trend caters to customers who want to experience the outdoors without sacrificing comfort. Additionally, there is a growing interest in camping in off-the-beaten-path locations, away from crowded tourist areas.

Local special circumstances: Norway's stunning natural landscapes, including fjords, mountains, and forests, make it an ideal destination for camping enthusiasts. The country's "allemannsretten" or "right to roam" law allows people to camp on uncultivated land for up to two nights, further boosting the camping culture in Norway. This unique legal right sets Norway apart from other countries and encourages both locals and tourists to explore the great outdoors through camping.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The strong economy in Norway has contributed to the growth of the Camping market, as consumers have more disposable income to spend on recreational activities like camping. Additionally, the increase in domestic tourism due to travel restrictions has led to a surge in camping trips within the country. This trend is expected to continue as Norwegians prioritize outdoor experiences and sustainable travel options.
