From January 24 to 26, the fourth edition of Vakantie Expo took place at Antwerp Expo. It is the ultimate travel fair for travelers looking for inspiration and information for their next trip. Over three days, visitors could discover a wide range of destinations and travel options. With more than 160 exhibitors and over 22,000 visitors, the fair was once again a great success.

A diverse offer for every traveler
Vakantie Expo offers something for everyone: from exotic long-haul trips and adventurous journeys to relaxing cruises and cozy vacations close to home. Visitors received personalized advice and could attend inspiring presentations from experts. A couple of visitors shared their experience:
"We come here to get inspired and have very diverse interests. Both group travel and individual trips appeal to us, whether by plane or by car. There is also a great selection of cruises, so maybe we’ll go on a cruise in the future."
This year, more than 160 exhibitors were present, offering a wide range for every type of traveler. Exhibitors emphasize the importance of their presence at the fair. CTT Travel says:
"We participate in Vakantie Expo to increase our brand awareness with the general public, both in Flanders and the Netherlands. In addition, we want to position ourselves as specialists in group travel, particularly for our guided Dutch-speaking tours, and to generate bookings. I would also recommend other exhibitors to participate next year, as it is still the only professional trade fair in Belgium primarily focused on B2C. Visitors come here with pleasure to get inspired, gather knowledge, or book their trip with special fair discounts."

There were also many new exhibitors at Vakantie Expo, including Puffins Travel North, who were present with their own booth for the first time:
"We are an organization from West Flanders and want to expand our reach to all of Belgium by being here. In previous years, we were part of the VVR umbrella stand, but now we are breaking out with our own booth. Vakantie Expo is a very well-organized fair, and as an exhibitor, you are well taken care of. There is a huge foot traffic, and over the past years, we have always gained customers here."
Antwerp Travel Top
On Friday evening, the annual Antwerp Travel Top took place, a networking event where colleagues and professionals from the travel industry gathered to share knowledge and experiences.

A successful edition
The organization looks back on this edition of Holiday Expo with great satisfaction. The enthusiasm of the visitors and the satisfaction of the exhibitors show that this fair remains a mainstay in the travel industry.
We want to thank everyone who was present and contributed to the success of Vakantie Expo 2025. See you next year!
