Glampshire
Exploring the wider potential for agri-tourism in Ayrshire, with glamping as a major component
Show MoreA number of farmers who had been individually developing glamping pods on their farms thought there was an opportunity to collaborate, to jointly market glamping in Ayrshire. They felt that tourism in Ayrshire was under-developed and if they could work together, they could promote Ayrshire as Scotland’s glamping region. The group’s timing fits well with other initiatives currently in development for the area, including The Coig - a tourism initiative to try to build on the success of the North Coast 500, by mapping out a number of tourist trails across Ayrshire, Arran and Bute.
After a preliminary meeting with experts, the group decided to broaden its focus to include agri-tourism opportunities more generally and other regional marketing initiatives.
