Is it possible to swift from architechture to glamping?

The success story of two Colombian architects  

Claudia and Benjamín are two Colombian architects who decided to open a new business apart from their architecture studio and to start a glamping adventure.

In Guasca, Colombia they had a beautiful land with a scenic view and they want to diversify their profesional activity, so they decided to install there a glampsite.



As good architects, they made a nice design of the resort, they took time to choose the right tents and they found Ctents luxury glamping tents while looking for tents in internet. As they wanted to check them before buying and they wanted to optimize their investment, they asked for help to the brother of him who happen to live in Spain, Javier went to check the Ctents with his wife while keeping a video conference thanks to her smatphone. This option let them to know in deep about Ctents and realize that they were the tents they needed, waterproof, wide inside, luminous and robust, perfect for the rainy climate of Guasca.

They prepared the glampsite in a record period of time and chose a very atractive name “Maloca Glamping” - Maloca is the name of an ancient communal construction in Colombia used by natives -, when they had it ready they started to offer the booking through social networks and other means.

They hadn’t worked before as innkeepers so they had everything to learn about, but they did their best and they find that their ability to communicate and to make public reltionships was quite good.
Soon the guests started to book and their pleasent stays were soon spreaded through word of mouth.

After a year of hard work, they are happy as they have succeed with their touristic offer and they are planning to increase the number of malocas, as they call the lodging tents, and they are already working on the extesion of the glampsite.



Congratulations!
