Lake Clifton (Australia) could be home to glamping tents if a development proposal gets approved.
According to a report, the proposal made by Walia and Singh Pty Ltd to the Shire of Waroona features up to 24 tents in various styles, a sauna, a vending machine for wine and alcohol as well as a barbeque area, and areas for yoga and astro tourism.
Located at 117 Lake Clifton Road, Walia Resorts hopes to create high-end eco-tourism accommodation to diversify and expand the tourism industry in the region.
The report stated that Lake Clifton had steadily been receiving more visitors during summer, however, due to the lack of available accommodations made it impossible for a day trip to turn into a weekend getaway.
A Tina Smitherman Consultants and My Travel Research 2021 research study, which was commissioned by Tourism WA, estimated that in 2020, the WA glamping industry had a value of AU$25.9 Million.
It is projected to grow to AU$77.2 Million by 2028.
The glamping tourism industry is also expected to expand at an annual rate of 1.2% over the next five years in Australia.
Walia Resorts expects to see 3,129 visitors at the glamping tents each year.
The total amount of the construction project amounts to AU$400,000. According to the plan, a substantial amount would be spent on labor and services from Lake Clifton and the South West.
The dome tents are projected to cost AU$500 to stay per night, while the luxury tents could cost up to AU$1,250 per night.
