The Holiday Festival, which takes place from 5 to 7 February 2026 at the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, is proud to announce the joint participation of Meridian Travel (Harald Kolkman) and Travelhome (Perry van de Wiel). Together they join forces to fully immerse visitors in the world of motorhome travel through Australia and New Zealand.
Visitors can not only go to the festival for extensive information and inspiring stories, but also for a real motorhome experience: a motorhome is set up on the stand that is used for road trips on the other side of the world. This allows travelers to experience the comfort and possibilities of a motorhome trip for themselves.
In addition, Meridian Travel and Travelhome present the second edition of the magazine Camper Roadtrips, which this year is partly dedicated to Australia and New Zealand. The magazine is full of routes, insider tips, photography and practical information; A valuable source of inspiration for anyone who dreams of a motorhome adventure down under.
Harald Kolkman, founder of Meridian Travel, is looking forward to the collaboration: “Motorhome trips through Australia and New Zealand appeal to the imagination. The festival offers us the perfect setting to make that dream tangible. With the new Camper Roadtrips magazine and a real camper on the stand, visitors can really feel what such a trip looks like.”
Perry van de Wiel, director of Travelhome, adds: “Travelhome has years of experience in organizing motorhome trips worldwide. Together with Meridian Travel, we can not only inform visitors, but above all inspire them. It’s a wonderful opportunity to show how free and adventurous travelling with a motorhome can be.”
Frits Kuijper, co-founder of the Holiday Festival: “This collaboration perfectly shows what the festival stands for: unique combinations, surprising concepts and experience that you won’t find anywhere else. A camper on the floor and a dedicated magazine, that’s exactly the kind of inspiration visitors come for.”
T.J. van Apeldoorn, co-founder of the Vakantie Festival, emphasizes the power of this combination: “Australia and New Zealand are bucket list destinations for many Dutch people. The fact that Meridian Travel and Travelhome bring this experience together makes the festival not only stronger in terms of content, but also visually more spectacular. This will be a real crowd puller.”
The Holiday Festival will take place from 5 to 7 February 2026 and brings together destinations, travel companies and travel lifestyle brands in an inspiring festival atmosphere full of experience, advice and entertainment.
