Q: What’s most important to you when choosing a holiday destination?
The choice is based on where the family wants to go. We usually try to choose
destinations where we can combine relaxation with active exploration. So when we are
at the seaside, for example, we also want to explore local sights and natural attractions.
Q: Which destination has surprised you the most?
I can’t recall any unpleasant surprises. I liked French Polynesia the most. I was also
pleasantly surprised by Cape Town as I didn’t expect it to be so cultured and civilised.
Japan was also interesting, as were islands at the end of the world, like Fiji and Vanuatu.
Q: How do you think you will travel, ten years from now?
I think more or less the same, provided we stay healthy. We’ll see if our children want to
travel with us, along with their partners or families. Maybe I’ll want to spend more time
traveling and less time in the office, so we won’t go on vacation for two months rather
than two weeks. We’ll get to know the country better, maybe rent an apartment or
a residence instead of staying in a hotel.

Q: What was the main reason you chose your last holiday destination - and
what was it?
Rwanda. We had always been drawn to meeting gorillas in their natural environment
and discovering another unconventional destination.
Q: How does your travel today differ from ten years ago?
In the past, we mostly traveled to classic “holiday” destinations. Today we choose
places that are less touristy, sometimes with more difficult access.
Q: Which hotel stays do you remember as the most exceptional – and why?
Hacienda Zuleta, Ecuador: A family-run hotel in the Andes. Nature, people, culture,
traditions, gastronomy.
St. Regis Bali: We return regularly. The atmosphere of the hotel is created by its people.
One&Only Nyungwe, Rwanda: A hotel bordering the national park, surrounded by
tea plantations.
