Caravan Salon, the world’s largest international trade fair for motorhomes and caravans, will take place from Aug.31 to Sept. 8 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.
On 2.3 million square feet of exhibit space about 600 exhibitors will showcase over 2,100 recreational vehicles for every taste and budget. In addition, visitors will also find accessories, attachments, awning/tents, mobile homes, vacation destinations as well as campsites and RV parks in 13 halls and on the outdoor exhibition space.
“Caravan Salon is the world’s biggest platform for industry experts who can network and establish contacts here. At the same time, it demonstrates mobile vacationing for everyone by presenting products and ‘infotaining’. As usual, visitors can expect the No. 1 trade fair in Düsseldorf to deliver cutting-edge technology and the latest developments in caravanning, a complete market overview and information on current trend themes,” said Caravan Salon Director Stefan Koschke.
Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2019 will again offer an informative and entertaining program in addition to the exhibitors’ presentations. Special shows and areas as well as many action-packed attractions invite the entire family to visit the trade fair.
Special Caravanning Sports
In the outdoor area the special “Caravanning Sports” show will celebrate its debut. Here vehicles will be on show that are particularly well suited to combining sports activities with “four-wheel” vacationing – be it water sports, cycling, winter sports or other action hobbies. In front of Halls 15 and 16 various manufacturers will demonstrate their solutions for the transportation of sports gear – from surf boards to motorcycles. They will showcase carrier systems, customized furniture concepts, smart interiors and also sporty designs.
StarterWorld in the Outdoor Area
“At last year’s trade fair we succeeded in posting a very high percentage of first-time visitors at 35%. For these newcomers we have a service-driven and customer-friendly counselling center: the ‘StarterWorld’ (Hall 18 in the outdoor area),” said Stefan Koschke.
In various themed worlds both newcomers and seasoned travelers can get export tips about mobile vacationing.
Caravan Center: RV Park with Great Atmosphere and Comfort
At the Caravan Center (Großparkplatz P1) the trade fair visit becomes a “real” experience. Europe’s biggest RV park – for the duration of the Caravan Salon – provides 3,500 fully serviced and un-serviced pitches. During Caravan Salon between 60,000 and 70,000 overnight stays are planned. After trade fair hours, the Caravan Center is the meeting point for the community bringing together exhibitors, visitors, journalists and all other RV enthusiasts.
