Planning your dream vacation? While online searches are convenient, travel enthusiasts know the real excitement lies at the Vakantiebeurs, January 2019. As the Netherlands' largest travel event, it delivers personalized, expert advice on emerging and unique destinations to ensure you're fully prepared.
Picture the historic splendor of Isfahan, Iran, or the lively energy of Beirut, Lebanon. Seasoned explorers who've mastered Abu Dhabi and Dubai will find fresh inspiration beyond the Middle East's soaring skylines—all showcased in Utrecht.
For the first time, Ras Al Khaimah, one of the UAE's most exotic emirates, joins the fair. Just minutes from Dubai, it offers the Emirates' finest: vast deserts, verdant oases, and pristine tropical beaches framed by an enchanting Arabian Nights landscape.
Debuting alongside are Palestine, Russia, and Georgia. Georgia's allure has skyrocketed since hosting the Dutch TV hit 'Wie is de Mol?', drawing crowds to its breathtaking scenery.
Perched in the Himalayas, Bhutan makes its Vakantiebeurs debut. This Buddhist kingdom prioritizes Gross National Happiness over GDP. Expect to invest around $200 daily, with $65 as a royalty fee supporting free education, healthcare, and infrastructure—transforming your trip into meaningful sustainable tourism.
The Vakantiebeurs runs from January 10 to 13 in Utrecht.
