1. Overview of camping tents

a. What is a camping tent?

• A camping tent is a small room made of fabric or other material, used for temporary shelter and sleeping during camping or outdoor excursions. Camping tents are often made from waterproof fabric or parachute fabric to protect against environmental factors such as wind, rain, and sun.
• Camping tents can have different sizes and designs, from simple tents that can only hold one person to larger tents that can hold multiple people or are designed for use in a specific environment such as snowy areas or dense forests.
• A camping tent is one of the most important items on camping or hiking trips, helping to protect the user from adverse weather conditions and providing a private and safe space to rest.
• Currently, the camping tent manufacturing industry in Vietnam is developing with many manufacturers and brands of all sizes across the country. Vietnam is one of the countries with favorable natural conditions to develop the camping tent manufacturing industry, especially in mountainous and coastal areas.
• Vietnamese camping tent products are manufactured with many different designs, sizes, and materials to meet customer needs. In addition, many brands have focused on improving product quality and design to increase the usability and durability of camping tents.
