UAE Glamping Market Trends:

Rise in Eco-Conscious and Sustainable Tourism Offerings

A prominent trend shaping the UAE glamping market is the increasing emphasis on eco-conscious and sustainable tourism experiences. Consumers are progressively seeking travel options that minimize environmental impact while still offering comfort and luxury. In response, operators are developing eco-friendly glamping sites that incorporate solar power, wastewater recycling systems, and low impact building materials. These accommodations are often set in nature reserves or remote desert areas, designed to blend with the landscape and conserve biodiversity. Notably, on May 17, 2025, a prominent Indian luxury glamping brand, LuxeGlamp Eco-Resorts, launched its first international eco-tourism project, LuxeGlamp UAQ, in Umm Al Quwain, UAE. Situated within a 50-acre mangrove reserve, the resort features ten glass-domed luxury suites with private plunge pools and sustainable, solar-powered infrastructure. The development aligns with the emirate's broader strategy to promote environmentally responsible tourism and diversify its hospitality offerings. Also, government policies encouraging sustainable tourism further support this trend by offering incentives for green infrastructure. Additionally, international travelers, particularly from Europe and North America, are placing greater importance on sustainability credentials when choosing accommodation, making eco-glamping a competitive differentiator. Apart from this, brands are also investing in educational programming around conservation and local ecology, creating an immersive experience that aligns with global sustainability values. As a result, sustainability is no longer a niche feature but a core component of glamping development strategies in the UAE.

Government-Backed Tourism Diversification and Regional Development

The UAE government's national plans to diversify the tourism industry and develop regional economic growth are propelling the UAE glamping market growth. A larger plan to shift from dependence on oil revenues is encouraging investments in non-traditional sectors of tourism, such as nature-based and adventure travel. In addition, UAE Tourism Strategy 2031 also targets raising the contribution of the tourism industry towards the GDP to AED 450 Billion (approximately USD 122.4 Billion) with a targeted growth of AED 27 billion (approximately USD 7.35 Billion) annually. Glamping is being positioned as one of the strategic pillars in this endeavor, especially in regions such as Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Sharjah, which have mountainous topography, coastal strips, and desert areas with immense opportunities for innovative outdoor experiences. Government agencies like the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) are introducing focused initiatives to license and promote glamping resorts, integrating local communities and SMEs within the value chain. These developments aim to create a year-round tourism appeal beyond traditional city hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Furthermore, upgrading public infrastructure by providing more road accessibility, digital delivery in isolated regions, and eco-friendly transportation is making glamping sites accessible, supporting the segment's sustainability throughout the UAE.
