The Glamping Show 2021: Sneak Preview

Once again, the time is almost upon us to make our way to The Glamping Show. With only 4 months to go, the International Glamping Business team could not be more excited. After a successful 2020 event, we can’t wait to find out more about this year’s Glamping Show in September. We caught up with Dan Wiseman, Exhibition Manager at Swan Events, to find out a bit more about what’s in store.

The Glamping Show Visitors

Every year when we arrive at The Glamping Show, we are amazed at the size of the crowd waiting for it to open. Making our way around the show, we can’t help but stop and talk to the visitors, what their plans are, their favourite accommodation types on display, and the seminars that they are planning to watch.

The glamping industry is one of the friendliest around and we are reminded of that every time we visit. Dan says, “Whether you already own a site or are looking to set one up, you are sure to find people who are in the same situation and are more than willing to talk about their experiences. We think that the people who make up the glamping industry are incredible, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be able to work with them”.
