CARAVAN SALON DÃœSSELDORF closed out its 57th year and experienced record results as the best attended event in its history. More than 600 national & international exhibitors presented their innovations and current offerings in 13 halls and an outdoor area. Joachim Schäfer, outgoing Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf, said, “Over the past ten days we have welcomed 248,000 visitors (versus 232,000 in 2017) at the Düsseldorf exhibition center. He continues, “We are delighted with this new record and also see the high visitor turnout as confirmation of the outstanding collaboration between the exhibitors, the Caravanning Industry Association and our trade fair company.”
Mobile vacationing, or part-time RVing, continues to be a popular trend in both Europe and North America. According to the press release by Messe Düsseldorf North America, "Due to record new registrations and changes of ownership, the general mood in the caravanning industry is extremely positive. “This was also clearly felt at CARAVAN SALON. The atmosphere in the halls among both exhibitors and visitors was excellent. With 35% we again managed to welcome a very high percentage of first-time visitors. We cater to these newcomers by providing a service-oriented and customer-friendly advice center in the form of the StarterWorld. It was also striking to see even more young families with children taking an interest in this form of vacationing,” said CARAVAN SALON Director Stefan Koschke. Noteworthy this year are the many trade visitor registrations from Asia, Australia and the U.S. About 2,100 RVs and accessories, technical equipment, detachable parts, awnings and mobile homes were exhibited on more than 2.3 million square feet. Campsites, motorhome parks and travel destinations were also on show.
Hermann Pfaff, President of the German Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD), added: “The high spirits among manufacturers, exhibitors and customers as well as first-class sales figures are evidence of the enormous and constantly growing popularity of caravanning. The outstanding number of sales concluded here have more than fulfilled our expectations and reflect the current market situation.”
