Netherlands: Holiday Park Providers Roompot and Landal GreenParks Join Forces to Form Pan-European Organisation

In order to jointly offer the most attractive and diverse pan-European holiday offer for holidaymakers on the coast and inland in the future, the two Dutch holiday park providers Roompot and Landal GreenParks plan to merge into one organization. For this purpose, Roompot is to acquire Landal GreenParks from its current owner Awaze, a portfolio company of Platinum Equity. The transaction is subject to the usual conditions. The combined offer would encompass approximately 300 parks and 32,000 accommodations in eleven countries.

Jurgen Van Cutsem, CEO of Roompot and CEO designate of the combined group, is delighted with the proposed acquisition: “Landal GreenParks is a leading player with a strong track record and a very attractive portfolio. We see considerable potential for international growth in the joint development of our activities as a developer, operator, lessor and seller of holiday homes, parks and locations […]”

Dirk Anbeek, CEO of Landal GreenParks, says: “[…] I thank Platinum Equity and everyone working at Landal GreenParks and Awaze for their tremendous efforts over the past years, and for what has been achieved. We believe in a step forward for Landal GreenParks and further strengthening our rental options by joining with Roompot. I’m enthusiastic about the combination and look forward to a successful future for everyone involved.”

The regional distribution of employees is to be maintained despite the fusion. The new organization will therefore have several branches in the Netherlands and set up regional offices abroad. By the way, a detailed report about the novelties at the Landal holiday parks can be found in our upcoming July/August issue (EAP 4/21). (eap)
