Utrecht, October 12, 2023 – The 58th edition of the “ Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs ” attracted 5 percent more visitors this year than last year. With over 40,000 visitors, the Netherlands’ largest camping event concluded very successfully. This year, there was a special focus on sustainability and innovations. The event exceeded the expectations of both exhibitors and visitors. The organizers of Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs also look back on the event with satisfaction. Rachel Jankowsky: “Campers consider sustainability an increasingly important factor when planning their vacations. On the exhibition floor, we continuously respond to this need. For example, at this year’s event, we inspired visitors with a specially curated sustainability route featuring providers of, among other things, lightweight caravans designed to be towed by electric cars and accessories made from recycled or biodegradable materials.”
Tens of thousands of visitors enjoyed innovations
Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs This year’s event was entirely focused on sustainability and innovation. Leo Diepemaat, chairman of the trade association KCI (Camping & Caravan Industry) and co-organizer of the fair: “It was a successful camping event with a very wide range of offerings—from tents to luxury RVs, workshops, accessories, and destinations. And all this in a wonderful vacation atmosphere, with enthusiastic and satisfied visitors and exhibitors.” One of the visitors shared with the fair organizers: “You really are surprised by all the new things. It’s not just big white caravans—there’s actually a lot of variety in what’s on offer.”
A wide range of offerings for young and old
Earlier this week, it was announced that caravan and RV ownership among young audiences has risen substantially faster than in other age groups since corona broke out. Rachel Jankowsky: "It was striking that many younger campers visited the trade fair especially on weekends." For example, exhibitor Knaus Tabbert AG says: "As an exhibitor, we naturally do not want to miss the Camping and Caravan Jaarbeurs, because here we really have the opportunity to present our beautiful products to the public. We reach a variety of customers here, from young to old." Exhibitor Trigano Accessory Group also looks back with satisfaction: "It is of course the ideal place to show here all the products we have developed to consumers and to feel the first reactions."
