Messe Düsseldorf strengthens global leadership with CARAVAN SALON, boot Düsseldorf

Messe Düsseldorf has established itself as a world-class organiser of leisure exhibitions, with CARAVAN SALON and boot Düsseldorf standing as the premier international events for caravanning and water sports, respectively.

Every year, the Düsseldorf exhibition centre becomes a global meeting point for outdoor and marine leisure enthusiasts. While CARAVAN SALON showcases the latest in motorhomes, campervans and caravanning, boot Düsseldorf brings together the world’s biggest names in boating, sailing, diving and other water sports.

CARAVAN SALON has a rich legacy spanning 65 years. Launched in Essen before relocating to Düsseldorf in 1994, the event expanded rapidly to become the world’s leading exhibition for mobile leisure travel. Today, it attracts exhibitors and visitors from across the globe, with campervans remaining a favourite among travellers seeking flexibility and adventure.

boot Düsseldorf has an equally impressive heritage. Founded in 1969 in the inland city of Düsseldorf, the event has grown into the world’s largest and most influential water sports trade fair. Every January, it welcomes industry professionals, manufacturers and enthusiasts, cementing its reputation as the global showcase for innovation and trends in the marine leisure sector.
