As people’s wanderlust continues to grow and evolve, largely inspired by the photos they see on social media, this strategic alliance promises to make the travel planning experience easier for discerning outdoor enthusiasts.

"We live in an ever-increasing connected lifestyle, which elevates one's nature deficit," said CJ Wolf, GlampingHub's CEO. Glamping offers a chance to disconnect from our fast-paced modern lives, unplug from technology and reconnect with the natural world. 

GlampingHub's luxury accommodations seamlessly blend outdoor escapades with the safety and convenience of contemporary comforts. Whether they aim to enjoy activities like hiking, biking, fishing or just spending time by the fireside roasting s'mores, glamping is a refuge for those seeking solace in nature's beauty and life's simpler joys.

"At KAYAK, we're committed to providing travelers with a wide variety of travel options all in one place, said Paul Jacobs, General Manager & Vice President of North America for KAYAK. "With tons of unique accommodations for travelers to choose from, our goal is to continue giving travelers even more choices, and teaming up with GlampingHub introduces a new variety of accommodations to our already diverse offerings—something our users have been explicitly searching for more recently."

KAYAK’s data paints a vivid picture of this rising trend, reflecting a notable increase in searches for these alternative accommodations. For instance, there’s been a 28 percent year-over-year surge in search demand for luxury tents. Beyond camping, the allure of distinctive lodgings—from riads to ranches, farm stays or boats—has skyrocketed by as much as 85 percent in year-over-year comparisons.

"We are incredibly excited about our partnership with KAYAK. It's a natural fit that aligns with our vision of providing unique experiences to travelers around the world," said Wolf. "This collaboration will make it easier than ever for individuals and families to discover and book one-of-a-kind glamping experiences, whether they're looking for a serene mountain retreat or an exciting adventure in national parks."
