This weekend, the Holiday Awards, often referred to as the Oscars of the Dutch travel industry, were presented at the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk during the annual Travel Gala. The prestigious awards are determined by industry peers and recognize excellence within the travel sector. This year, Untamed Travelling received nominations in no fewer than three categories: Long-Distance Travel, Adventure Travel, and Luxury Travel.




Shortly after the opening of the gala, one of the first awards of the evening was announced: Best Travel Provider Adventure Travel. Untamed Travelling emerged as the winner, taking home the Best Adventure Travel 2026 Award. Founder and director Jozef Verbruggen made his way to the podium to receive the award.








Verbruggen expressed his pride in the recognition: “It means a great deal to me that we’ve won an award again this year. In addition to the reviews we receive from our customers, recognition from within the travel industry is incredibly valuable. It reflects the trust in our expertise and creativity. Winning the Adventure Travel Award truly feels like the icing on the cake.”
