Open Air Urban

Glamping innovations that bring city luxe to the great outdoors

Implications - More people are showing a desire to commune with nature and experience raw wilderness, yet are unable to detach themselves from technology and other urban luxuries. To build on last year’s Glamping feature, we add new innovations like canned fast food and outdoor excursion-ready shampoo.
Trend Themes
1. Glamping - As more people show a desire to commune with nature without having to detach themselves from technology and urban luxuries, there is an opportunity to create new outdoor experiences that combine the two in a unique and comfortable way.
2. Kinetic Energy Innovations - The shift towards eco-friendliness and the desire for free, convenient energy sources has created an opportunity to develop and market more kinetic energy tech gadgets and products.
3. Airport Security Safe Hygiene Innovations - The recent airline security restrictions on liquids have created a demand for more safe and convenient travel hygiene products, leading to the opportunity for developing unique and eco-friendly options like paper shampoo and laundry detergent.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - Recreating the outdoor experience by combining technology and urban luxuries.
2. Eco-friendly Energy - Developing more eco-friendly kinetic energy tech gadgets and products.
3. Travel Hygiene - Creating more safe and convenient travel hygiene products, especially in light of recent airline security restrictions.
