With the arrival of the summer season, many Italians are already enjoying a well-deserved relaxing break of at least 2-3 days.
The exploit of camping is now known and has become increasingly popular as a holiday choice in Italy. Camping is the real holiday trend of 2023. Bookings in campsites and villages are on the rise (+9.8% compared to last year, which had already recorded a significant increase), with holidaymakers projected towards glamping.
According to estimates by the Federconsumatori National Observatory (O.N.F.), only 39% of citizens will leave for the summer holidays. Furthermore, over 52% of those who allow themselves a glamping experience will opt for a shorter stay, of just 3-5 days.
In the panorama of choices for holidays, camping continues to be less expensive than hotel accommodation, despite registering an average increase in prices of +14% compared to 2022. However, some specific services have undergone even more significant increases, such as admission for four-legged friends (+26%), one night in a lodge tent (+29%), the use of bungalows and electricity connection (+17%), and admission for adults (+19 %) and children (+13%).
Federconsumatori National Observatory (O.N.F.) has estimated, taking into consideration the total cost for a family made up of 2 adults and 2 children, who wish to spend a week camping in a seaside resort, including pitch, entrance fees, meals and beach services, an expense of 1,387.62 euros in high season.
However, those who do not want to give up comfort can opt for a stay in a bungalow, the cost of which will amount to 2,348.44 euros, or 69% more than the solution in a tent. The cost for a week in a lodge tent will be 2,133.73 euros.
Beyond the price fluctuations, camping remains a favorite form of holiday in Italy, because it is capable of satisfying the needs of travelers who are increasingly cost-conscious and aware of the new needs of the historical period.
