Excellence Awards. Thomas Mack, managing partner, Europa-Park said: “We are very
proud and happy about the repeated accolade that is the Park World Excellence Award in the category ‘Best Water Park’. This award is yet another proof of the outstanding quality of Rulantica, as well as the strong innovative energy of our family business. Just last summer, we have extended the outdoor area by 11,000 square metres with an outdoor world of slides that is unique in its way in Europe and compliments the 32,600 square metres indoor area perfectly. The new offer is received incredibly well by our visitors and extends the duration of stay of our visitors, which further strengthens sustainably the destination around Europa-Park.“

Efteling CEO Fons Jurgens said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by our industry peers in this very special ‘Best of the Best’ category at the 2021 Park World Excellence Awards. It is a testament to all Efteling employees – both front of house and behind the scenes – who work so hard to make our World of Wonders a place where our visitors can escape from the everyday, even when we had to close our doors a few times. “We have continued to innovate and invest in Efteling over the past
few years to continue to enhance the guest experience. In 2020, we opened the new family roller coaster Max & Moritz, and subsequently a whole new themed area around the new ride including two new eateries. In spring 2021, we launched Nest! play forest, designed for children with and without disabilities to play together, and we have also renovated parts of the Efteling Hotel. As part of our ongoing sustainability initiatives, we have added even more charging points for electrical cars at the front of the visitor’s car park. “This recognition also comes at an exciting time for Efteling as we mark our 70th anniversary in 2022 with celebrations taking place throughout the year. As soon as Efteling reopens, a new thematic area can be explored: the World of Sindbad, along with two new attractions, Sirocco and Archipel. Then at the beginning of February, the celebrations will begin in earnest, with decorations, party music and a jubilant atmosphere throughout the park. We’re looking forward to once again welcoming guests from all over the world to our World of Wonders and celebrating with our visitors, colleagues and partners.”
