From 5 to 7 February 2026, the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch will be the setting for the very first edition of the Holiday Festival, the new travel lifestyle event in the Netherlands where destinations, travel organizations and travel lifestyle brands come together in an inspiring mix of experience, advice and entertainment. Bolderman and Effeweg, the specialist in bus and air travel, will be there and let visitors experience how traveling to distant destinations can be comfortable and carefree.
Bolderman and Effeweg will continue to grow rapidly in 2026 with a renewed range of bus and air travel that offers a carefree and luxurious way of traveling. These trips combine the convenience of flying to a destination with the comfortable travel experience of a luxury coach, accompanied by an expert tour guide. During the Holiday Festival, visitors can discover how quickly and relaxed they can fly to their destination and then travel on to their chosen places in comfort. The bus and air tours offer the best of both worlds: fast flights and comfortable onward travel, with attractive prices for complete tours that offer a lot of quality at a competitive price. In addition, they offer colorful routes, special excursions and unique experiences that make every trip special. With years of experience in group travel, personal attention and passion for travel, Bolderman en Effeweg ensures that every holiday is an excellent, safe and enjoyable experience.
2026: New discoveries and familiar classics
Bolderman and Effeweg have added a number of special new destinations to their offer for 2026. Discover Vietnam with its enchanting rice terraces, bustling cities, and rich culture, or head to Oman, a land full of mystical deserts, fjords, oases, and hospitable people. Of course, the popular classics will remain fully bookable in 2026, with trips to destinations such as Croatia, Italy, Morocco, Spain, South Africa, Costa Rica and Indonesia. The offer offers an enchanting mix of nature, culture and hospitality. “Our air-bus trips bring together the best of both worlds: a competitive price-quality ratio and comfortable flying and traveling at the destination,” says Onno Hosman (Marketing Director of Bolderman and Effeweg). ” During the Holiday Festival, we want to show how traveling to our new faraway destinations such as Vietnam, Oman or South Africa is not only quick and easy, but also offers a quality and unique experience at the best prices.”
