Clairfield advises Askja Reizen on the sale to Nordic

Askja Reizen, a respected tour operator in the travel industry with a focus on Scandinavia and Iceland, was sold to Nordic, the market leader in Belgium for Scandinavian travel.

Askja Reizen stands as the foremost specialist in travel to Iceland. Over the years, they have expanded their expertise to destinations boasting equally breathtaking natural landscapes. Alongside Askja Reizen, Nordic will also be taking over the Asia specialist VNC Asia Travel, a sub brand under Askja Reizen.

Clairfield International acted as exclusive financial advisor to Askja Reizen.

“We are particularly pleased with the collaboration with Nordic; it is the best possible match for both companies in realizing further growth. From the start, there was an immediate connection.”
— Sander van Opstal & Eppo Steenhuisen, Directors & Owners
