Why Belgium?

B

 

Budget

Friendly

Belgium has competitive pricing compared to major destinations in Europe and yet still expresses a devotion to excellence and service. History and culture mingle with modern facilities whether it’s an 18th-century carriage house furnished with antiques and objets d’art or an ultra-modern spa resort.

E

 

Experience

Belgian suppliers are familiar with the American market and aim to please by doing their best to accommodate special requests. Brussels, the Capital of Europe, is headquarters to the European Union (EU) and NATO, so it is no wonder that English is widely spoken. 

L

 

Location

Direct flights to Brussels (6.5 hours from the East Coast) from the US with American/Brussels Airlines, Continental, Delta, Jet Airways, US Airways, and United. Paris, London, and Amsterdam are only a fast train ride away (85 minutes to Paris). From Brussels it is only 30 minutes by train to Ghent or Antwerp and only one hour to Bruges or Liege.

Gourmet Cuisine

Belgium is becoming increasingly known as a gourmet destination. Your clients can delight in fine chocolates, enjoy Belgian fries with mayo, savor fresh mussels from the North Sea and then wash it all down with a Belgian beer – over 400 available. Anyway you slice it, everyone leaves the table satisfied.

Culture

This tiny kingdom in the heart of Europe is multicultural and multilingual with a lot to offer in a small area. Medieval cities, incredible collections of Flemish Art, rich combination of castles, gardens and canals, diversity of architecture, festivals galore and art nouveau make Belgium the perfect tourist destination.
