In Belgium and the Netherlands, success starts with whom you know
Hoping to get your foot in the door in Belgium or the Netherlands as a DMC, hotel, airline, cruise line or tour operator? Then you need a partner: someone who is familiar with both the tourism industry and the local way of doing business. And if you’re lucky, that partner comes with an address book full of valuable contacts, such as the local trade journalists, sector association representatives and travel agency owners, so that your message reaches the right people straight away. And that is, in a nutshell, what Krides is all about.


I promote your brand in Belgium and the Netherlands
My name is Kristof De Smet, and I am the founder of Krides Consultancy & Representation. With over 18 years of professional experience, I know the travel industry inside and out. You could say that wanderlust is my middle name: I have visited five continents multiple times and continue to explore the world with enthusiasm. My native language is Dutch, which is spoken in both Belgium (Flanders) and The Netherlands. I am also fluent in French and English, and I have a solid knowledge of German and a basic mastery of Spanish. I have gained experience working as a travel agent, a tour guide, a Tourism lecturer and as a sales & account manager. Thanks to this varied profile, I can keep my finger on the pulse of the travel industry. It makes me the perfect partner to bring your offer to the right people.
