Wallonia, why look any further?

Tourism in Wallonia -let the sun shine! In Wallonia, the term “Tourist Attraction” is a protected designation, awarded by the Commissariat General au Tourisme (Belgian Tourist Board). Attractions awarded this distinction also benefit from a classification system of “Suns” (one to five). The number of “Suns” refers first and foremost to the quality of the experience provided to visitors, which includes criteria such as service quality, opening times, disabled access and foreign languages, to name but a few. To receive their “first Sun”, attractions must publish a leaflet containing a description and practical information, and offer a clearlyidentifiable reception area.

“Five Sun” attractions must offer a shop and be able to welcome guests in three languages. Tourist attractions committed to offering faultless quality are guaranteed to satisfy their visitors, who will undoubtedly become their leading ambassadors in turn! Welcome to Wallonia, where our “Suns” always shine… All the better to serve you!

Luxembourg

“Three Sun” attractions must offer services such as electronic payment, and be able to welcome guests in two languages.

Quality and creativity to spice up a holiday “Toerisme Vlaanderen has three main assignments really: to make Flanders more and more attractive as a tourist destination, to promote this fascinating destination abroad, and to allow the Flemish to enjoy their holidays as much as possible. I can think of more boring jobs to do. We chose to focus on a number of themes that allow Flanders to make its mark internationally and distinguish itself from many other destinations. This automatically brings us to the vast treasure of historic buildings and our art and culture. Over the past years, Toerisme Vlaanderen has helped develop dozens of heritage sites into vibrant attractions. Castles, mansions, and palaces, belfries and city halls, cathedrals and abbeys, mills and old factories…. Heritage that was not only beautifully restored, but also manages to convey a fascinating story all of their own. For example the jenever museum in Hasselt, the Plant Garden of Meise, Historium in Bruges, the Gaasbeek castle, the Raverszijde domain in Ostend, the St. Rumbold’s tower in Mechelen, the Zimmer tower in Lier, the STAM in Ghent, city brewery De Koninck in Antwerp… Our ambition is to develop Flanders over the coming years into a family-friendly heritage destination with international appeal. And the first to enjoy it will of course be the Belgians and day trippers.

www.visitﬂanders.com

“The Flemish people barely realize the kind of fantastic tourist destination they inhabit. The wealth of heritage sites, museums, recreational parks, theme parks, art treasures, and what we describe in our files as ‘adventure centres’ is enormous. But it is not merely the quantity, but above all the quality and creativity of our touristic offerings that make Flanders an attractive destination, for day trips as well of course. And this will become even more obvious in the coming years.” As the head of Toerisme Vlaanderen (tourism office Flanders), Peter De Wilde is of course first in line to know about and promote the Flemish assets, but also to help develop them.

84 kust 2016.indd 84

22/12/15 20:00

What are some other assets besides heritage. Our cycling culture, our gastronomy and rich beer culture, the WWI commemoration, and the countless festivals that are organized all over Flanders. There are many typically Flemish themes to choose from, but we need to focus to be effective. Half the world knows the Tour of Flanders. It is a welcome showcase with which to promote Flanders as a cycling destination. After all, there is plenty to experience for cycling fans. The Tour of Flanders Centre in Oudenaarde, the cycling museum in Roeselare, Sportimonium in Hofstade, and soon an adventure centre on cyclo-cross in Baal… Flanders boasts a highly robust offer for the commemoration of WWI, for instance the Memorial Museum in Passendale, the IJzer Tower in Diksmuide, In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, or Westfront in Nieuwpoort.

What does the future hold?

Peter De Wilde Tourism Flanders

www.visitﬂanders.com

In the coming years, Toerisme Vlaanderen will focus its efforts on the realization of a number of leverage projects. Large, innovative, astonishing attractions, exhibitions, and events to entice domestic but also foreign tourists to make the trip to or with-

in Flanders, and add an overnight stay while they are at it. Projects to impress tens of thousands of visitors and create additional jobs and prosperity. Between 2018 and 2020, the Flemish masters (Rubens, Brueghel, Van Eyck, …) will feature prominently in the Flemish showcase. A great deal of organizations and attractions have begun preparations to this end. But we will also help realize a number of other attractions on the Coast, in the green areas, and in the art cities (Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Leuven, Mechelen) and Brussels. Not a day goes by in Flanders without something to experience. And the extra spices added to this diverse tourist offer are the quality and creativity that are put into the attractions by tourism entrepreneurs and organizations. We greatly appreciate and promote the craftsmanship and the drive to surprise and improve. After all, the baseline for all of our tourism promotion abroad is Flanders state of the art.

he Westhoek is situated to the far west of the country, a virtually unspoilt part of Flanders, near France and the North Sea. The many scars of “The great War” bear witness to an eventful history, more than 100 years ago now. Various museums and visitor centres keep this memory alive. The authenticity of the region has been kept almost intact, as you will see when you have a taste of the many delicious regional products, such as the biscuits of Jules Destrooper! More information about the region in general can be found on www.toerismewesthoek.be. Info about the region’s attractions in particular is available on www.365discoverydays.be.

he Leie region is situated along both sides of the river Leie, reaching from the French border to the Artevelde city of Ghent. The region became well-known for its flax industry. At the beginning of the last century more than 13.000 people worked in the flax factories and over 120 million kilos of flax were processed then. Today you can walk along the banks of the Leie and enjoy the heritage, the recreation areas and water fun. Who does not know about the battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302? More information about the region in general can be found on www.toerismeleiestreek.be. Info about the region’s attractions in particular is available on www.365discoverydays.be.

Magnificent nature reserves invite you to relax. Discover the unique area with creeks to the north, adjacent to Zeeland Flanders!

Antwerpse Kempen

he Antwerpse Kempen or the Antwerp Campine region makes many of us think of “De Stille Kempen”, the purple heath and the vast pine woods. However, the region has a lot more to offer than its vast area of pure nature. Many recreation areas are relaxation oases for families with children. The playgrounds and amusement parks guarantee fun and the many museums in cities and villages depict the history of this marvellous region! More information about the region in general can be found on www. antwerpsekempen.be. Info about the attractions in particular is available on www.365discoverydays.be.

ouvain, a city of students and brewers. Louvain has been the University City of Flanders since its foundation in 1425. Later on Stella Artois completed the picture and became a world-famous brewery. Would that be a coincidence? Louvain also offers numerous museums, «M – Museum Leuven» being the best known. It also has a rich heritage of historic buildings and sites: abbeys, beguinages, carillons, churches, faculty buildings and last but not least, the widely known Town Hall.

Everyone deserves a holiday !

Vakantieparticipatie (Holiday Participation), a support centre within Toerisme Vlaanderen (Tourism Flanders), does not only bring holidays but also day trips within reach of those with a tight budget. The concept is simple: tourist attractions offer - out of their own pockets - between 30% and 80% discounts on tickets. Social organizations promote this offer and provide guidance as people choose, book, and prepare their dream trip. Because the experience of being away from it all, to clear one’s head, to enjoy a nice day in good company; this should be within everyone’s reach. To get away from it all: it reinvigorates people. To close the door behind you and to enjoy a day out together; priceless. Diana lives in Kontich, is chronically ill, and a mother of three young girls. Her family went on holiday to Limburg and discovered C-mine, the Blotevoetenpad (barefoot trail), and Bokrijk. ‘This carelessness gave me strength. I came home feeling like I could take on life again’, she said. ‘To go on holiday is to find new courage’, Marina believes. She is a voluntary travel consultant in the city of Dendermonde. ‘When you are having a rough time, you tend to go ‘crazy’ now and again from all the mental turmoil. When you take a trip you can switch off that button. Click. And then you’re back, ready for action.’ Every year, 120,000 people living in poverty book a holiday or day trip via Vakantieparticipatie. ‘And it just keeps growing. Not just because more people are finding us, but unfortunately also because the number of people living in poverty is increasing’, says Marianne Schapmans, director of Vakantieparticipatie. 80% of the bookings consist of day trips, mostly reserved by families with children and groups. Why are tourist attractions making an effort for people with limited income? Peggy Verelst, commercial director with amusement park Bobbejaanland says the following: ‘Everyone is entitled to a bit of a holiday. To a lot of families with children, an amusement park is part of that. And that is expensive. The cooperation with Holiday Participation is a structural way of doing something extra for people with limited income.’ Thanks to the commitment of tourist partners, Vakantieparticipatie can offer over 200 different attractions and events at a reduced rate. This includes major popular locations, as well as lesser-known but surprising outings.

Are you making due with a limited income? Do you know people whose budget prevents them from experiencing a holiday moment? Give shape to your plans for a holiday or a trip via www.vakantieparticipatie.be , call 02/504 03 91 or the free number 1700.

he Hageland is one of Flanders’ lesser known regions. This eastern part of Flemish Brabant lies to the east of Louvain and is the gate to Haspengouw. In Hageland fruit cultivation is also omnipresent. Cities like Tienen, Aarschot, Landen and Diest are certainly cosy places to visit. Relics from the Gallo-Roman times run like a red thread through various city museums. Certainly pay a visit to the Sugar Museum in Tienen. More information about the region in general can be found on www.toerismevlaamsbrabant.be. Info about the region’s attractions in particular is available on www.365discoverydays.be.

hrough the centuries the Maas has created a unique landscape. Green plains, creeks and marsh land with lots of water birds, plants and herbs. Next to the twisting river a series of picturesque Maas villages arose, where culture, heritage and museums define the local colour. A tip: discover the region on a horse-drawn cart. The beautiful landscape and water richness of the Maasland indeed offer many recreational possibilities. Plenty of water fun in the Maasland. More information about the region in general can be found on www. toerismelimburg.be. Info about the attractions in particular is available on www.365discoverydays.be.
