The Canton Fair, one of the world’s most influential trade exhibitions, is once again proving its unmatched ability to anticipate and meet the demands of evolving global markets. This year, the spotlight shines on the booming glamping economy, as international buyers flock to Guangzhou to discover the latest in luxury outdoor living.
The Rise of Glamping: Where Comfort Meets Adventure
Glamping—short for “glamorous camping”—has surged in popularity, particularly among younger generations in North America and Europe who crave the serenity of nature without sacrificing modern comforts. No longer limited to basic tents and sleeping bags, today’s glamping market demands high-end, multifunctional gear that blends durability with elegance.
At the 137th Canton Fair, suppliers showcased everything from smart outdoor appliances to eco-friendly camping accessories, positioning the event as the ultimate sourcing hub for trend-conscious buyers.
