Germany’s unique public fair for #hiking and #trekking takes place in parallel.
Caravanning and the whole segment of mobile leisure continues to undergo a real boom, reaching vast numbers of enthusiasts. Freedom, independence, proximity to nature and, above all, that desire to get to know unknown regions and cities are the ingredients that make this way of holiday-making so fascinating.
World’s most comprehensive ranges for mobile holidays
Demand by participating companies is so high that the exhibition area has increased to occupy another hall this year. The entire caravanning industry will be represented during the CARAVAN SALON. Some 600 national and international exhibitors with 130 caravan and motor home brands will be presenting their innovations and current models. Some 2,100 recreational vehicles in all conceivable sizes and versions can be marvelled at in 13 halls and on outdoor exhibition spaces covering 214,000 square metres in total.
Besides motor homes, caravans and basic vehicles, accessories, technical equipment, detachable parts, awnings, campsites, trailer parks as well as travel destinations all await visitors.
Unique range of vehicles, innovations and trends
Everything is represented from compact and clever to spacious and luxurious. Everyone with an interest in caravanning can find the matching vehicle. Van conversions and partially integrated motorhomes are particularly popular as entry-level models because they are also good for everyday use.
Other dominating trends are “comfort” and “connectivity”. Driver’s assistance systems make travelling safer and more pleasant.
