Special Interest Trends for Glamping

Abstract

Sustainability in tourism is a necessary path for the tourism sector on a global scale. Tourist practice now considers the environmental, economic, and social impact in the present and the future. Responsible use of natural resources, preservation of the sociocultural authenticity of local communities, and ensuring long-term economic sustainability are fundamental. In the context of tourist activities that promote direct contact with nature, it is crucial to intensify efforts to prevent any form of environmental negligence (e.g., glamping in specific Portuguese contexts). From an interdisciplinary perspective, this study provides insights into marketing and segmented tourism (in the context of nature and glamping). Future studies should make it possible to develop some of the limitations presented in this chapter.
