• Nine percent of all guest overnight stays are accounted for by camping
• +105.5 percent over the past ten years

Tiny houses extend the season and attract new target groups

Thanks to good insulation, heating, and private bathroom and kitchen areas, tiny houses enable year-round camping and extend the season well beyond the summer months. Many sites are thus increasingly establishing themselves as year-round operations.

At the same time, tiny houses appeal to new target groups: guests who want to combine the experience of nature with a high level of comfort, families, couples, or travelers without a camper van are discovering camping as an attractive alternative to hotels or vacation rentals.

Industry Event Highlights This Trend

The NEW HOUSING Business Day will also focus on the opportunities arising from this trend. A morning panel discussion will specifically address the synergy between camping and tiny houses. The focus will be on new business models, additional target groups, and the role of innovative forms of accommodation in ensuring the future viability of camping tourism. The event brings together decision-makers from tourism, project development, and the camping industry and aims to serve as a catalyst for sustainable growth and entrepreneurial opportunities with tiny houses.
