VISITFLANDERS – The Only Belgian Tourist Representation

VISITFLANDERS is a research-driven organization, as well as the only official tourist office for the state of Flanders-Belgium in North America. The office believes that supporting travel agents and tour operation partners is an important part of its success. VISITFLANDERS is also one of the first offices to develop an innovative tablet app just for the travel trade: the FlandersInsider (available in the iOS and Google Play stores and at www.flandersinsider.com)

In 2007 the field of tourism was delegated from the federal to state governments, and at this time the Belgian National Tourist Office was separated into two tourist offices:  Flanders and Wallonia, with Wallonia eventually closing their US office in 2016. This is how VISITFLANDERS became the only Belgian tourist representation in North America.

The dedicated office employees of VISITFLANDERS’ have in-depth product knowledge and offer advice, suggestions, and guidance free of charge. Each member of the team focuses specifically on one of four areas: Travel Trade, MICE, Press and Media Relations, and Special Programs. As 50% of the visitors in Flanders come for MICE and business travel, VISITFLANDERS is specifically adept at accommodating the high standards and customer-focused approach the business requires.
