LeadingCampings of Europe is an association founded in Düsseldorf, Germany, which brings together the best independent tourist resorts in Europe with the aim of jointly developing marketing actions. From today it becomes part of the Camping Business partners.
To choose accommodation facilities with characteristics of excellence and verify the maintenance of standards over time, LeadingCampings employs quality testers, experts and trained, who visit the structures incognito, obviously compatibly with the current limitations related to the pandemic. In addition, the LeadingCampings quality manager travels from site to site and is an ambassador of the Leading Quality idea.
A facility can only claim the LeadingCampings title if it is the best in its region, naturally taking into account country-specific differences in standards. The group carries out staff training sessions every year. When the owners meet twice a year, each campsite presents an example of best practice to the others. And in this difficult period linked to pandemic management, hygiene guidelines stand out – according to LeadingCampings they are among the best in the world of European campsites.
Camping Business had the pleasure, at the beginning of 2020, of interviewing Eicke Schüürmann, Director of Leading Campings. Those were other times with other expectations (you can reread his statements here), but in September, on the occasion of the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, we also made a video interview, which we propose below:

Looking forward to hearing Mr Schüürmann’s point of view again, we therefore welcome LeadingCampings as a partner of Camping Business.
