This entrepreneurial all-knower is Marcel Janssen, the founder and owner of Estivotravel. Marcel has been working in the camping industry since 2006; setting up tents & mobile homes, managing camp sites, marketing & sales, contracting camp sites, and managing his own tour operator is familiar territory for him.

High end accommodations and real personal contact are one of the many spearheads, but also wanting to take that extra step is how Marcel sets itself apart. Nothing goes too far for Marcel to create the perfect camping holiday. Marcel is also the father of two lovely daughters and prefers to go on a camping holiday with his family in Italy.
