The fair for camping lovers
The fair for B&B’s and charming stays
A survey conducted among visitors of the Antwerp Holiday Fair shows that the most popular type of holiday is camping. The camping area at the Vakantiesalon Antwerpen is growing year by year, so it was decided to devote a complete hall, and therefore a complete fair to campsites, caravans and mobile homes, but also all sorts of accessories and means of transport such as bicycles - electric or otherwise, steps, etc.
Bed and breakfasts are gaining popularity worldwide.
More and more couples and families are looking for a small-scale stay with personal service in an authentic, charming or sometimes just an unconventional framework. This is shown by figures from Bedandbreakfast.eu, a website with a worldwide offer of Bed & Breakfasts and that also offers tips for starting your own B&B.
