CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf 2024
CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf 2024: annual highlight of the caravanning community
The whole world of mobile leisure in 16 halls and the outdoor area
Caravanning stands for self-determined and independent travel and fulfills people’s desire for freedom and individuality like no other form of vacation.
From August 30 (Preview Day) to September 8, 2024 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), the entire caravanning community will come together at CARAVAN SALON for the highlight of the year.
The world of mobile leisure in all its facets will be on display in 16 halls and on the open-air site.
Over 700 exhibitors will be presenting motorhomes, caravans, camper vans, camping buses and accessories as well as the corresponding tourism products on 250,000 square meters, ensuring an unparalleled variety of brands and products.
“We are very proud to have surpassed last year’s record figures once again and can report a new record in terms of rented space. Our halls and the outdoor area are fully booked right down to the last section and for our visitors this means, above all, that the product variety and selection has increased once again. CARAVAN SALON is thus underlining its leading position among leisure trade fairs worldwide and should therefore be firmly reserved in the diary of all caravanning enthusiasts,” says Director Stefan Koschke.
Complete market overview and current trend topics
CARAVAN SALON DÜSSELDORF is the world’s largest platform for industry professionals to exchange ideas and make contacts.
At the same time, the trade fair stages mobile vacations for everyone by presenting products and informing and entertaining its visitors.
As usual, fans of mobile leisure can expect CARAVAN SALON to provide the latest state of the art and developments in caravanning, a complete market overview and information on current trend topics.
“The possibilities in Düsseldorf are almost unlimited. Whether you are a newcomer or already an enthusiastic camper, everyone will find the right vehicle or additional accessories here. This selection is unrivaled and unique, there is no comparable offer worldwide,” adds Stefan Koschke.
New hall layout
In order to provide visitors with an even better overview of the product areas, the usual hall layout has been changed slightly this year.
Under the motto “Travel & Nature”, Hall 7 will be the center for national and international regions, travel destinations, destinations and, of course, camping and pitches.
The “Travel & Nature CONNECTED” stage will entertain visitors with an exciting mix of infotainment and presentations about destinations and leisure activities.
This expands the range of “Equipment & Outdoor” in Hall 3: In addition to roof tents, folding, folding and tent caravans as well as tents and awnings, equipment and accessories for all aspects of the outdoor and camping experience.
The StarterWelt for all beginners and newcomers who appreciate initial advice on the many different aspects of caravanning will move to the outdoor area (between Halls 10 and 16) and thus to the center of the event.
Caravanning stands for quality of life, freedom and self-determination
“More and more people want to travel with a caravan or motorhome. This trend has been observed for over a decade and has not lost momentum even under the current difficult conditions. Quite the opposite: the longing for nature and relaxation is growing and has given mobile vacations an enormous significance in our society. Caravanning is not only seen as a leisure activity, but also as a symbol of quality of life, freedom and self-determination,” explains Daniel Onggowinarso, Managing Director of the Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD).
“As the world’s leading trade fair, CARAVAN SALON brings together the entire spectrum of our industry in one place, so there is always something new to discover in Düsseldorf for caravanning newcomers and experienced campers alike,” adds Daniel Onggowinarso.
Dialog platform for professionals / Expanded B2B conference offering
But the CARAVAN SALON is not just about products and services; the trade fair has also developed into an important dialog platform and networking area in recent years.
“We are further expanding the conference area for trade visitors and experts due to the high demand. In addition to the proven formats “Symposium Nature.Tourism.Future”, “German Pitch Day” and “Hiking Expert Forum”, we are organizing the “Camping Destination Day” for the first time.
Here, the development steps on the way to innovative caravanning destinations will be highlighted using various examples and best practices.
Trade fairs are the ideal place for conferences, studies and symposia and we are delighted that CARAVAN SALON has developed into a lively forum for exchange with political and tourism decision-makers,” says Stefan Koschke.
With the Innovation Stage and the networking platform “Travel Industry meets Caravaning”, two new evening events round off the extensive B2B program.
StarterWorld and self-build adventure
To ensure that a visit to the trade fair is an experience for the whole family, Messe Düsseldorf has of course once again organized an entertainment programme covering all aspects of mobile leisure.
The most popular program items include the Dream Tour Cinema, the European Outdoor Film Tour (EOFT), the e-bike course and a large fun and games program for children.
For all newcomers, the StarterWelt in the outdoor area shows what to look out for before buying or renting motorhomes and caravans.
Independent advice is a top priority here.
In addition to the basics, the varied stage program will focus on many attractive topics relating to travelling with a motorhome or caravan.
The experts will be happy to answer questions and provide individual advice.
At the self-build adventure on the outdoor area in front of Halls 13 and 14, individualists and hobby mechanics will receive practical tips on converting, upgrading or repairing their vehicle.
Every day, different presentations for beginners, advanced and professionals will cover all the topics that are important for customizers and hobbyists.
Caravan Center with 3,500 parking spaces
At the Caravan Center (large parking lot P1), a visit to the trade fair becomes a real experience.
The largest parking area in Europe during the CARAVAN SALON, with around 3,500 serviced and unserviced parking spaces, leaves nothing to be desired.
Between 60,000 and 70,000 overnight stays are planned during CARAVAN SALON.
