Glamping as a tourist trend - with review of legal aspects

The Republic of Croatia can raise competitiveness in the field of camping by raising the quality of the offer which is also recognized in the Croatian Tourism Development Strategy until 2020. The Strategy does not introduce the concept of glamping (glamorous and luxury camping), but by the description of the quality-oriented offers, which seeks for the introduction of the wellness centre, swimming pools, contents for the children and raising the category to 4*, recognizes its importance. Glamping is a combination of glamor and camping aimed at tourists who are not ready to give up luxury, but want to stay in nature and in a place other than their permanent residence. As particularly important, the Tourism Development Strategy highlights the removal of business and developmental constraints, especially the harmonization of legislation. The relevant legislation will be presented in this paper, with special emphasize to the Tourism and Other Construction Land Act (Official Gazette 92/10), the Tourist Tax Act (Official Gazette No. 52/19), the Maritme Domain and Seaports Act (Official Gazette 158/03, 100/04, 141/06, 38/09, 123/11, 56/16) as well as on the legal problems encountered by the camps. Apart from the legal aspects, in this paper, authors will analyse the existing types of accommodation units in glamping and SWOT analysis of the development of glamping in the Republic of Croatia.
