Glamping in India, a Promising Travel Trend of the Decade

Glamping in India, a Promising Travel Trend of the Decade

By Author

Published on June 20, 2023

As per recent research conducted by FMI, India is on the brink of becoming a highly profitable market for glamping in South Asia. This exciting trend is being fueled by the increasing interest of millennials and Gen Z in eco-friendly tourism. With a greater emphasis on sustainability and unique travel experiences, glamping has emerged as a sought-after option for travellers seeking a closer connection with nature. 

According to FMI, the global glamping market is poised for remarkable growth, surpassing a staggering $11.62 billion by 2033. With a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.69% from its 2023 value of $3.84 billion, this industry is catching the attention of both travel enthusiasts and business-savvy individuals.

One of the key factors driving the success of the glamping industry is the growing demand for sustainable tourism. As conscientious travellers become more aware of their environmental footprint, they seek accommodations that align with their eco-friendly values. Glamping strikes the perfect balance by offering a unique camping experience that doesn't compromise on comfort while minimizing its impact on the environment.

India's glamping market is reshaping the Asia Pacific tourism landscape, driven by the expansion of domestic tourism. With its natural resources, India offers diverse glamping options that cater to various interests. The emphasis on unique and experiential stays contributes to the growing popularity of glamping among Indian travellers.

The country's emergence as a lucrative pocket in the South Asia glamping market is further supported by promotional efforts aimed at attracting foreign tourists. The Indian government actively promotes sustainable tourism, encouraging private investment in eco-friendly glamping accommodations within national parks and wildlife reserves.

In recent years, India has witnessed the rise of several glamping destinations, including Rishikesh, Jaisalmer, Munnar, Shimla, and Wayanad. These locations offer a range of accommodations, such as luxurious tents, treehouses, yurts, and domes.

Muscat Grand Mall, a premier destination under the Tilal Development Company, has partnered with SRED to launch "Little India" as its new social anchor—a vibrant hub showcasing the rich diversity of Indian culture, cuisine, fashion, and heritage. This strategic move sets the stage for Indian brands looking to expand in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, leveraging Oman’s central location and the growing demand for curated international retail experiences.

Mr. Ali Hosni, Acting CEO/General Manager of Muscat Grand Mall, shared his excitement about the initiative:

"Muscat Grand Mall has always been a canvas for innovation and cultural expression. With ‘Little India’, we are not just creating a retail space—we are creating a bridge between India and the GCC. This is an invitation for Indian brands to be part of a regional success story, backed by strong footfall, premium infrastructure, and a rising consumer base in Oman."

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Shriram PM Monga, Co-founder of SRED, emphasized the broader impact:

"‘Little India’ is more than a commercial concept—it’s a social ecosystem designed to serve the large Indian community in Oman and the wider Gulf. It’s a unique opportunity for Indian brands to plug into a culturally aligned audience, celebrate India abroad, and grow in a region that values authenticity and diversity."

The "Little India" initiative will serve as a permanent cultural anchor within Muscat Grand Mall, offering Indian brands a tailored platform to connect with both resident and tourist consumers in Oman. Fashion labels, food concepts, home décor brands, and artisanal businesses from India will now have a dedicated space to showcase their offerings to an expanding and receptive market.

SRED’s expertise in regional retail development will assist Indian brands with strategic onboarding through customized leasing programs, cultural programming, and integrated marketing initiatives to ensure their long-term success in the region.

Indian brands interested in exploring retail expansion in the GCC are encouraged to connect with representatives from Muscat Grand Mall and SRED to learn how they can be part of this unique cultural and commercial initiative.
