Outdoor travel marketplace Outdoorsy has launched the Oasis Fund – a $30 million dollar initiative dedicated exclusively to providing funding for the purchase of safari glamping tents for eligible entrepreneurs looking to become part of the glamping revolution.
With a $30 million investment to start, Outdoorsy said the Oasis Fund will empower individuals to start their own turnkey glamping businesses by simplifying the purchasing process. Outdoorsy has partnered with a global leader in canvas safari tent design to handcraft the tents, which can be found in glamping resorts and campgrounds around the world.
The offer is open to individuals seeking a private getaway or a campground owner looking to enhance their guests’ experience, and Outdoorsy has made applying for the Oasis Fund straightforward and hassle-free.
The global glamping category is expected to be worth $6 billion by 2030 and, according to Kampgrounds of America, interest in glamping more than doubled between 2021 and 2022, with 12.3 million households saying they’d choose cabins or glamping as their primary camping accommodation style.
Approximately 10.5 million U.S. households went glamping in 2022, with the average guests staying longer – booking 3 to 5 nights on average – and paying a higher nightly rate than traditional hotels.
