It's not for nothing that the motto is 'You would swear you were already there'. At the Vakantiebeurs you can get inspiration and ideas for the holiday, but also the anticipation and already experience the pleasant holiday feeling. Due to success, the special squares with the bundling of the six most popular holiday types of the Dutch are back. The Wellness theme square is new because the interest in wellness trips is growing. Here you can also enjoy a relaxing hand or neck massage to get into a relaxed holiday mood.

The other squares are Discover (distant destinations), Active (outdoor &sports), See (cities &culture), Together (family &children), Vaar (cruises &sailing), Buiten (camping &camping). On these squares you can start conversations with tour guides and experienced fellow travelers. There are games and competitions, presentations, lectures, workshops, music, dance and food everywhere.
