Every year in autumn we hold Travelpressentation one of travel PR’s top media events. Sitting at the top of the “to-attend” list for many, it’s our chance to introduce our clients and potential clients to our exhaustive list of First tier Travel industry media contacts. Travelpressentation is a yearly held media event since 2005. The media changed a lot but the concept remains successful it is people’s business. This year in 2026 on the 28th of October in Antwerp Belgium and the 29th of October in The Netherlands together with the second edition of the Dutch Travel Media Awards
Dutch Travel Media Awards 2026
Following the outstanding success of the inaugural edition in 2025, the Dutch Travel Media Awards will return in 2026.
Originally launched alongside our annual Travelpressentation media event, the Awards were created from a clear belief: exceptional travel journalism deserves recognition and a dedicated platform. The response from the industry and the media exceeded expectations, confirming the relevance and impact of this initiative.
The second edition of the Dutch Travel Media Awards will take place on 29 October 2026 during Travelpressentation in Maarssen, The Netherlands.
An independent and highly qualified jury will once again review all submitted entries and select the winning travel story. The Awards ceremony forms an integral part of Travelpressentation and adds an additional layer of visibility, prestige and media attention to the event.
By combining industry networking with a celebration of outstanding travel storytelling, Travelpressentation 2026 offers a unique and meaningful platform for the travel sector.
So, in 2026, we’ll be packing out with special sponsorship packages too. Contact Agnes of our agency to find out the possibilities and she will send you the media packages. We hope we can celebrate 24 years Travelpressentation and the second edition of the Dutch Travel Media Awards together.
In the fast moving world of media let’s drive meaningful connections between forward-thinking travel brands and media in Netherlands and Belgium.

Dutch Travel Media Awards - 2025
Dutch and Belgian citizens love to travel
With a population of approximately 18 million people, the Netherlands represents a highly attractive source market for international tourism. The Dutch are among the most travel-active populations in Europe. In recent years, around 70–75% of the population takes at least one holiday per year, resulting in tens of millions of trips annually, both domestic and international.
Dutch travellers are internationally oriented, experience-driven and strongly influenced by high-quality media and trusted travel journalism.
Belgium, with a population of over 11.8 million, is equally significant as a travel market. Approximately 6.8 million Belgians live in Flanders, making it a particularly relevant region for tourism promotion. Belgian travellers also show a strong preference for international holidays, with roughly three-quarters of all trips taken abroad.
Both markets are characterised by:
-
High outbound travel frequency
-
Strong purchasing power
-
A well-developed media landscape
-
A high level of trust in professional travel journalism
For destinations and travel brands, the Netherlands and Belgium therefore offer two mature, stable and highly attractive source markets within Europe.
