Like no other leisure trade fair CARAVAN SALON from 4 to 13 September 2020 is synonymous with the passion that all caravanning enthusiasts share. This year sees the Düsseldorf trade fair for motorhomes and caravans already kick off for all parties interested on Friday – giving all visitors an extra day to get to know the fascination of mobile leisure.

Commenting on this Stefan Koschke, Director of CARAVAN SALON, said: “In ten halls and on the outdoor fairgrounds in excess of 300 exhibitors will showcase the trends, innovations and novelties for the coming season. This year there will a wide range of manufacturers and brands again be a broad spectrum of manufacturers and brands offering a huge selection of products across all vehicle categories. Here with us in Düsseldorf the top launches for the season will be on show. We are also especially delighted that the new Hall 1 will be integrated into the visitors’ loop for the first time. Furthermore, the South entrance will be inaugurated to mark the start of our trade fair.” In addition to motorhomes and caravans, base vehicles, accessories, technical equipment, detachable parts, roof-top tents, mobile homes, campsites, motor camps as well as travel destinations will be on show.

Messe Düsseldorf and the Caravaning Industrie Verband (CIVD) as a conceptual sponsor look with optimism to the 59th edition of CARAVAN SALON, which will be held in an extraordinary year. “We have worked out a viable hygiene concept in close cooperation with the authorities that fulfils all prerequisites for trade fair operations in Corona times. A variety of measures will enable visitors, exhibitors and members of staff to maintain the prescribed minimum distance of 1.5 m across the entire fairgrounds and inside the halls. Our hygiene and infection protection standards ensure that the safety and health of our exhibitors, visitors, partners and members of staff are protected in the best possible way,” explains Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf.

The aisle width was increased and the space allocated in halls more generously, to mention but two measures. The use of face masks is compulsory on the complete fairgrounds and inside the halls, as known from retail, and, on top of this, all hygiene measures were adapted to the new circumstances. There will be hand sanitizer dispensers available for stand staff and visitors at all hall entrances and stands. Additionally, the only persons allowed in a vehicle are those not subject to contact restrictions, e.g. persons from one household.

Again this year many renowned international manufacturers will be presenting their latest generation of motorhomes and caravans. The spectrum on display in the Düsseldorf exhibition halls ranges from compact, smart models to spacious luxury mobile homes.

CARAVAN SALON will also serve in 2020 as the place where the sector launches its technical innovations and product news. One trend continues to be the connection of various components in the vehicle. Furthermore, customers want more convenience. Ever new layouts and furnishing options make it possible to configure vehicles according to individual needs and preferences. This also holds true for the interior design with soft colour schemes and modern lighting concepts all designed to create a feelgood atmosphere.

With a view to implementing the hygiene concept and complying with distancing rules 100%, this year’s CARAVAN SALON will be held in a new array of halls. For the first time Hall 1 will be incorporated into the “hall loop” – on top of this, the South entrance with its spectacular roof structure will celebrate its debut being inaugurated at the start of the trade fair in September. Alongside Hall 1, Halls 4, 9 to 12 as well as 16 will display caravans and motorhomes, vans can be found in Hall 15 and the premium segment can be marvelled at in Hall 15. The exhibitors of the tourism segment presenting campsites and motor parks as well as travel destinations will be featured in Hall 12 next to the cash & carry segment for camping accessories. Exhibitors from the “technical equipment for order” segment can be found in Hall 13. Visitors can enter and leave the fairgrounds via four entrances (Nord, Süd, Ost and the entrance next to Hall 17).
