In Brief

First Camp Frigård in Kollund reports a 55% increase in bookings from Germany, 156% from the Netherlands, and 129% from Belgium. The reason is extreme heat in Southern Europe, with temperatures reaching 43°C.

First Camp Frigård in Kollund, Denmark, has seen a sharp rise in foreign bookings. Compared to last year, bookings from Germany increased by 55%, from the Netherlands by 156%, and from Belgium by 129%. Cars with D, NL, and B license plates are increasingly common in the parking lot.

Camp management links this trend to the extreme heatwave in Southern Europe, where temperatures reach 43°C, prompting tourists to seek cooler destinations like Denmark. However, researchers note that this is only one factor, along with marketing and tourist preferences.
