Unique service
Friesland Holland Travel Service BV offers only holiday packages that have been developed and tested by the organization itself. The packages are unique and, in general, all-in, coupled with indispensible service. Speedy breakdown assistance with mobility guarantee to cyclists and renters of boats is an example. Also typical of our service is the provision of a wide range of information: detailed descriptions of the holiday itself and accommodation facilities, personal advice, and an information package delivered at your home after booking.
Friesland Holland: news service and tour operator
Background in journalism
Friesland Holland News & Marketing and Friesland Holland Travel Service BV in Wolvega jointly form the tourist information center for Fryslân, Friesland Holland in short. The agency was founded in 1996 by Albert Hendriks, a journalist specialized in the fields of economy, cultural history and tourism. Hendriks, born on November 21, 1953 in the village of Koekange in the province of Drenthe and raised, after 1954, on a farm in Rutten in the new multi-cultural Noordoostpolder, near Lemmer in Friesland, subsequently trained as a teacher in German and geography in Leeuwarden. During his studies in the Frisian capital Hendriks was also active as a reporter, which included interviewing of celebrities, usually politicians and entertainers, some from abroad. Since 1976 he has been working as a freelance journalist, publicist, copywriter and publisher and from 1996 onward as the managing director of Friesland Holland.
The Netherlands’ leading specialist in cycling and boating holidays
In a few years’ time, Friesland Holland Travel Service BV became by far the Netherlands’ leading specialist in cycling and boating holidays by stimulating direct booking (bypassing travel agencies and other middlemen) and by developing and executing its own exclusive multi-active holiday package deals.
The number-one information source
Friesland Holland guides consumers to the better hotels and other accommodations, restaurants, boat rental agencies, tourist attractions and events worth visiting in the province of Fryslân.
Friesland Holland may not sell holiday packages via other tour operators and travel agencies, but it does maintain a relationship with travel agencies, bus travel operators, and other groups, purely in order to exchange information and, as the producer of travel packages, to realize short retail lines, again bypassing cost-raising middlemen.
News and news features
The marketing strategy is quite unusual for a tourism office:based as it is on daily news, product innovation and services and trends in international tourism. It is known as news-based marketing.
