Terhills: from mysite to tourist hotspot (ENG) – Rudy Hulsman

Terhills is situated on the site of the former colliery of Eisden (Maasmechelen, just across the border in Belgium) in the heart of the Euregio. The site extends over an area of about 365 ha, on the edge of Belgium’s only National Park. Shaped by its past as an industrial mining and gravel extraction site, today it is home to successful attractions such as Terhills Hotel, Terhills Cablepark, Elaisa Wellness, Maasmechelen Village and the brand-new jewel in the crown: Terhills Resort by Center Parcs.

During this session, Rudy Hulsman will elaborate on the stakeholder management of Terhills, given the many strategic partners on and around the site (municipalities, Center Parcs, Maasmechelen Village, Nature and Forest Agency, …). He will also explain how Terhills was marketed as a new tourist destination.
