JAKARTA - The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which has been going on for several months have made it difficult for people to travel. Good for just relaxation or work needs.
In South Korea, camping is a new alternative for people who want a vacation but still run a social distance. Reporting from JoongAng Daily, from March to May, there was an increase in camp visits by 209 percent.
Camping options also vary. Not only from tents, but people can rent a car for camping. At the campsite, a large screen will be prepared for filming and busking.
The interest in camping is surprising. In the past year, the camping business has become less desirable. Coleman, a brand that manufactures camping equipment, closes business after 14 years running.
E-mart, an e-commerce from Ginseng Country, experienced large sales of camping equipment as much as 85 percent in April. That number continues to grow until they are short of stock because they always sell out.
For those who are bored with the concept of a tent, they rent a car like a BMW SUV as an alternative to getting a camping experience without feeling cramped.
Apart from camping gear, the fruit and vegetable products that campers bring in are also in great demand. So the company began to produce food suitable for these activities. Chungjungone brand, for example, they released a meat product that can be cooked easily while camping.
This activity was greeted with great fanfare by the Lotte World Tower. They hold events to experience camping without feeling difficult because they need equipment and so on. All equipment will be prepared by the organizer.
It seems fun if camping activities can be done easily. Are you interested in camping in the midst of a pandemic?
