Messe Düsseldorf Sets the Benchmark in Leisure Trade Fair Expertise

CARAVAN SALON and boot Düsseldorf: Global Leaders in Leisure and Outdoor Living

Every year, Messe Düsseldorf becomes the global meeting place for outdoor adventure and water sports. Its two flagship events—CARAVAN SALON and boot Düsseldorf—have earned international recognition as the leading trade fairs for caravanning, motorhomes, camping, boating, and marine leisure.

CARAVAN SALON is the world’s largest trade fair for mobile travel. It showcases the latest campervans, motorhomes, caravans, camping equipment, and outdoor lifestyle innovations, attracting manufacturers, industry professionals, and travel enthusiasts from across the globe. Campervans, in particular, continue to grow in popularity, offering the freedom and flexibility that modern travelers seek.

Complementing this on the water, boot Düsseldorf is the world’s largest indoor yacht and water sports exhibition. From sailing yachts and motorboats to diving, surfing, paddling, and marine tourism, the event brings together every facet of the water sports industry under one roof. It serves as a premier platform for product launches, networking, and discovering emerging trends.

Both exhibitions are built on decades of success. CARAVAN SALON began its journey more than 65 years ago before relocating to Düsseldorf in 1994, where it has continued to expand into the industry’s most influential global marketplace. boot Düsseldorf, founded in 1969, transformed an ambitious vision into an internationally renowned event that attracts exhibitors and visitors from over 100 countries each January.

Together, CARAVAN SALON and boot Düsseldorf demonstrate Messe Düsseldorf’s unparalleled expertise in creating world-class trade fairs that inspire innovation, connect global industries, and celebrate the spirit of leisure, travel, and adventure.
