VDB Holiday

What VDB Holiday does

VDB Holiday (legal entity: VDB Business B.V., KVK 63157667) is a privately held Dutch vacation park operator headquartered in Ermelo with a registered office in Harderwijk. The group operates five parks in geographically distinct natural settings: De Paalberg in the Veluwe forest (carrying a Koninklijk / Royal designation), Strandparc Nulde on the Veluwemeer, De Driehoek in the Groene Hart, Veluwschkarakter near Vierhouten heath, and De Voorst in the Noordoostpolder. Accommodations span basic and comfort camping pitches, seasonal pitches (April–September), camper pitches, lodges, chalets, glamping tents, tiny houses, beach houses, and Royal Villas for up to eight guests.

The operating model integrates overnight stays with on-site food and beverage (La Foresta, Beachclub Nulde, 't Jagersnest, Brasserie De Voorst, Buitengewoon De Voorst), a climbing forest (Klimbos Ermelo, 80+ obstacles), pools, playgrounds, and animation programming. A secondary line of business, VDB Holidayhome, sells chalets — built in-house via VDB Chaletbouw — and brokers resale and short-term rental mediation for owners. Distribution combines direct online booking through the VDB website (built and supported by TenZer, with reservations processed via Tommy Booking Support) with third-party listings on ACSI, Camping Key Europe, ANWB Camping, Campingcard.be, Pincamp.de, Open Camping Dag, and Hisware Cron. Pricing is per-pitch or per-accommodation per-stay, with ACSI low-season rates at 19 EUR per night and seasonal packages in the 160–590 EUR range. The Holli AI agent handles website visitor inquiries. Customer base is exclusively B2C: families, couples, and chalet owners in the Dutch leisure market; headcount is reported at 101–250.
