Abstract: This study investigates tourism trends in Vojvodina, focusing on the rising popularity of glamping. Vojvodina attracts visitors with its natu­ral beauty and cultural richness. The term “glamping” combines the luxuries of modern living with the immersive experience of camping, creating a har­monious blend of comfort and nature. The research examines how glamp­ing complements Vojvodina’s offerings as a new special interest in tourism and a new type of accommodation. The study highlights glamping’s align­ment with sustainability and local prosperity. This analysis points out the current challenges in glamping tourism development. It provides a road­map for Vojvodina to adapt to evolving tourism preferences, conserve its natural resources, and foster a community-oriented tourism industry.
