Case Background

Why do campsite owners choose to build campsites in this place? It is mainly based on Fujian’s rich natural resources, huge market demand, good policy environment and other factors. In addition, glass domes are still a relatively new existence for China’s campsite market, which is more conducive to attracting tourists who want to have a novel experience. Therefore, choosing a good location near mountains and rivers to build a glass dome campsite is the most suitable investment.

The Charm of Fujian

The owner chose to build a campsite in Fujian, China, which must be because of the outstanding characteristics of this place. The huge market demand can continue to bring customers, and of course, policy support is indispensable.

Rich in Natural Resources

Fujian has a subtropical monsoon climate, which is warm and humid, with distinct four seasons, and the climate is suitable for camping most of the time. The campsite is located at the junction of the foot of the mountain and the lake, where there are a variety of outdoor activities, such as mountaineering and fishing. The mountaineering activities here are more suitable for people who like to take a relaxing walk, and the short journey can relax the body and mind. The mountains here are not high, so you can also enjoy the sunrise and sunset through the glass dome.

Strong Market Demand

As a major tourist province, Fujian receives a large number of tourists every year. Then there will be a need for camping among a large number of tourists. In 2024, Fujian tourism is popular. The total number of tourists received is 650 million, and the total tourist expenditure is 835 billion yuan. From this, we can see that there is huge room for growth in camping tourism. It is worth mentioning that most tourists come to experience the culture of Fujian.

Policy Support

The Fujian Provincial Government attaches great importance to the development of the tourism industry. Fujian has introduced 23 incentive measures in 5 aspects to promote the high-quality development of the cultural and tourism economy. For each national comprehensive tourism demonstration zone, a reward of 3 million yuan will be given, etc. At the same time, to promote the development of tourism, Fujian has increased its investment in tourism infrastructure.

Rich Cultural Heritage

Fujian has a long history and rich folk culture, such as Minnan culture, Hakka culture, Mazu culture, etc. Campsite owners can incorporate these unique cultural elements into camping projects. Such as folk performances, traditional handicrafts, etc. At the same time, they can provide local specialties, such as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Shacha Noodles, Tushun Jelly, etc. Let tourists experience the richness of Fujian culture.

Why Choose Glass Dome for Accommodation?

Why did the owner choose glass domes for accommodation? It is not only solid and durable, but also beautiful and has a good view.

Broad Field of Vision

The top and sides of the glass dome are transparent. In the glass dome home, you can see the blue sky and the green lake. Would you rather get up early and climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, or lie on the bed in the glass dome to watch the sunrise?

Beautiful Appearance

Under the reflection of light, the glass surface reflects the surrounding beauty. The large glass dome is set against the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water. Glitzcamp also offers two options, transparent blue or pure transparent. The rounded shape and attractive appearance are like a gem inlaid between mountains and waters.
 

Construction Challenges

It is difficult to avoid problems during the design and construction process. However, Glitzcamp’s professional team, through communication with the owner and consideration of the actual site, provided the most satisfactory solution.

Material Weight Problem

Glass itself has a certain weight. When constructing a large-scale and special-shaped structure like a dome, the overall weight puts a great test on the supporting structure. Common PVC domes use steel frames. Compared with steel frames, aluminum alloy frames are lighter. This reduces the self-weight of the entire glass dome structure, making the construction difficulty and cost of the building foundation lower.

Safety Issues

Big glass domes pay attention to beauty and vision while not neglecting their durability. Glitzcamp uses high-strength aluminum alloy materials for the frame structure. The glass material is also specially treated and uses 0.76mm PVB tempered laminated glass panel. Even in the face of hail attacks or long-term sun and rain, the glass can still remain intact and clear. The temperature range that these materials can withstand is -22°F to 176°F (-30°C~80°C).

Privacy Issues

Since glass dome buildings use transparent glass on a large area, although it can provide users with a wide field of vision, it also inevitably affects the privacy of users. Glitzcamp rationally plans the transparency distribution of the glass. Fully transparent glass is used at the top or higher position of the dome, while semi-transparent or low-transparency glass is used near the ground or in areas where people move frequently. At the same time, curtains can also be installed to block the view from the outside world.

Summary

The dome has captured the hearts of campsite owners with its wide field of view, beautiful appearance and sturdy and durable quality. Glitzcamp has targetedly solved the concerns of campsite owners and created a unique campsite for them. If you also want to build a glass dome campsite, contact Glitzcamp now.
