WadWijzer connects guests from their campsite, B&B, marina, camper site or holiday home with local businesses, facilities, routes, nature, heritage and activities.
This makes local hospitality practical and supports local spending, the visibility of local small and medium-sized businesses and the vitality of villages throughout the Wadden region.
The Wadden region has a wealth of valuable local places, but information about them is scattered across websites, leaflets, noticeboards, social media and search engines. As a result, guests do not always find:
When local places are difficult to find, attention and spending are less likely to benefit nearby villages and businesses.
Accommodation providers are natural gateways to the region. Guests arrive there, stay for several days and search from that location for information and local places. WadWijzer therefore brings together in one multilingual guide:
The guide is available in Dutch, German and English. We can also digitise an existing Dutch leaflet and create German and English versions.
This makes local information more accessible without requiring every business or accommodation provider to produce separate translations and digital publications.
WadWijzer connects practical guest information with broader regional goals. The initiative contributes to:
Technology is the means. The goal is to help overnight guests find, understand and use the local area more easily.
For accommodation providers, this means a digital reception, fewer recurring guest questions, one place for stay and local information, access outside reception hours and a multilingual guide without an app or overflowing leaflet rack.
For businesses, this means a dedicated visitor profile, visibility among guests already nearby, digital distribution through accommodation providers and one existing leaflet that we can make available online in several languages.
WadWijzer does not replace a destination organisation, regional marketing organisation or tourism website.
Regional platforms inspire visitors and present the area as a whole. WadWijzer is the practical local delivery layer at the accommodation: where guests are actually staying, need information and make choices.
