“비싸고 불편한데 왜 가요?” 10조원 캠핑 제국이 폭망 중인 진짜 이유

"If I have to pay this much money and go through this hardship, I'd rather not go at all." When was the last time you took out your tent, which has been tucked away deep inside your veranda? Camping grounds, which were once in chaos every weekend with no spots available, are emptying out in an instant. In just one year, a staggering one million people have given up camping, and luxury gear worth millions of won is being shunned even at half price in the second-hand market. Is the trend simply dying down because "COVID is over and people are traveling abroad"? The real reason lies elsewhere. As the inconveniences endured to enjoy nature were compounded by exorbitant profit margins comparable to hotels, cramped deck spacing, and aging facilities that showed no improvement whatsoever, consumers have finally begun to make "rational calculations." From camping grounds that lost regular customers by only raising prices when demand increased, to operators who took out excessive loans to expand facilities, and even local governments that poured billions of won in tax money into the market—all these factors are at play. We analyze the preview of the collapse of the Korean camping market through numbers and psychology, as seen in the 99.9% profit plunge of the Japanese luxury brand 'Snow Peak'. Do you still have gear lying dormant on your veranda? Please share the real reason you stopped camping in the comments.
