Successful start

Successful start to the trade fair with 810 exhibitors from 41 countries in 15 halls

The 64th CARAVAN SALON opened today in Düsseldorf in the presence of North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister President Hendrik Wüst and Düsseldorf’s Lord Mayor Dr Stephan Keller. 810 exhibitors from 41 countries – including all international industry leaders and many newcomers – will be presenting the latest highlights in motorhomes, caravans, campervans, roof tents and accessories in 15 exhibition halls until 7 September. Minister President Wüst: “The CARAVAN SALON impressively demonstrates how technology and vision go hand in hand. Here at the international trade fair location Düsseldorf, we can see that increasing demand is both generating economic success and numerous innovations – from high-quality technical equipment and climate-neutral parking sites to digitally supported tourist offers in many regions of our state. North Rhine-Westphalia offers a unique variety of landscapes for tourism. Apart from this, the caravanning industry is exemplary for the structural change in North Rhine-Westphalia, combining sustainability with progress and creating skilled jobs in many economic sectors. So the caravanning industry is a pioneering force and function, especially for the tourism industry.”

Lord Mayor Dr Keller: “CARAVAN SALON, the world’s leading trade fair for mobile travel, underlines the appeal of Düsseldorf as a trade fair location and impressively demonstrates how much the holiday format of individual, flexible and mobile travel is gaining in importance. The rising number of motorhome registrations in particular is proof of this growing interest. Düsseldorf offers the ideal setting for this: while the trade fair is the industry’s meeting place, the city is transformed into Europe’s largest campsite – here you can wake up with a view of the Rhine and then discover the diversity of the industry, but also the diversity of Düsseldorf.”

Bernd Löher, President of the Caravanning Industry Association (CIVD), emphasizes the exceptional status of CARAVAN SALON for the industry: “For the international caravanning industry, CARAVAN SALON is the undisputed highlight of the year. The trade fair is not only the largest stage for new products, but has also developed into the central platform for professional exchange within the industry and dialogue with tourism, politics and other economic sectors.”

CARAVAN SALON 2025 once again promises a unique experience on four wheels for all fans of freedom, nature and independence. “The Düsseldorf exhibition center is the most important meeting place for all friends and enthusiasts of caravanning, as well as international trade visitors and industry experts, for ten days. Here, all fans and, of course, anyone who is considering getting involved can experience, touch and compare vehicles live and in color. Nowhere else offers this variety and expert advice. We are looking forward to an eventful and enjoyable time here in Düsseldorf,” said Marius Berlemann, Chief Operating Officer of Messe Düsseldorf, at the start of the trade fair.

In addition to vehicle innovations, the trade fair also offers plenty of tips and ideas for (active) holidays. A visit to Hall 7 f.e. with tourist offers for hiking, trekking or biking near and far inspires and simply makes you want to ‘get out into nature’.
