Glamping appears to be on the rise – and it could draw more tourists to Mid-Ulster.
It’s a more luxurious, home from home style of camping.
The most recent planning application for six glamping pods in Sandholes was lodged this week.
If given the green light, it will add to the facilities already available here.
Mid Ulster District Council last week launched its plan to develop the region’s tourism industry.
The five year strategy aims to enhance the reputation of the area.
Here’s chair of the council Trevor Wilson:
Man injured after house and three vehicles set alight in Co Antrim
IT system for Northern Ireland schools ‘largely restored’ following cyber attack
£100 home heating oil grant to be paid out by ‘summer at earliest’
Arrest made after hot water thrown over man at Co Tyrone court
Stormont urged to address ‘catastrophe’ in hospital emergency departments
