Are glamping tents right for your guests?

The draw

Affordable entry point, simple to set up, safari-style aesthetic.

The friction

Short lifespan (3-5 years), not truly all-weather, constant fabric upkeep, and less guest comfort.

What you want

A structure that works in rain, snow, or heat, creates repeat bookings, and lasts over a decade with low maintenance.

That’s why resorts worldwide upgrade from tents to yurts, same charm, far more durability, higher uptime, and better ROI.

TOF YURTS

From rustic nights to year-round comfort

Tents are great for short-season camps, but yurts give guests a more elevated experience: light through a skylight, warmth in winter, breezes in summer, and the calm of a circular space. For operators, yurts mean longer seasons, fewer headaches, and repeat business.
