From 5 to 7 February 2026, the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch will be the lively backdrop for the very first edition of the Holiday Festival, the new travel lifestyle event where destinations, travel organizations and travel lifestyle brands come together in an inspiring mix of experience, advice and entertainment.
As part of the VvKR, Young Travel Company presents itself with adventurous and personal trips that have been specially developed for families with young children, teenagers and young adults who like to discover the world together.
Traveling for curious families
Young Travel Company focuses on families with children who want to travel in an accessible, safe and playful way. The offer ranges from nature trips and active holidays to cultural encounters and small-scale adventures that invite you to discover, experience and grow. By working with local partners and carefully selected accommodations, the organization creates trips that are authentic, personal and appropriate to the dynamics of each family.
“Traveling with children is different, and that’s what makes it so valuable,” says Janet de Jonge of Young Travel Company. “At the Holiday Festival, we like to show visitors how we design trips that appeal to both parents and children. From adventure to relaxation, the world becomes even more beautiful when you discover it together.”
A cheerful and surprising addition to the festival
According to Frits Kuijper, creative director of the Holiday Festival, Young Travel Company brings a playful and inspiring dimension to the event. “They give the festival an extra layer of adventure and wonder. Their approach shows how travel can be not only fun for families, but also meaningful and connecting.”
T.J. van Apeldoorn, strategic director of the Vakantie Festival, emphasizes the value of their participation. “Young Travel Company represents a target group that deserves much more attention: families who consciously choose experience and authenticity. Their participation reinforces our ambition to create a broad and inclusive platform where every traveler recognizes themselves.”
