While my Department has no specific policy in relation to specific accommodation types in the tourism sector, Fáilte Ireland operates the National Quality Assurance Framework which aims to provide consumers with easily identifiable and understood symbols and standards of service of accommodation and to ensure that those standards meet consumer expectations.
Glamping accommodation can choose to apply for approval with Fáilte Ireland, under their Welcome Standard, and there are currently 17 glamping sites approved under the Welcome Standard. The emphasis of the Welcome Standard is on the fundamental components of the guest experience – service, hospitality, the quality of accommodation facilities, and food, if provided.
