Ineke Brinkman came to Canada from The Netherlands in 1979. Annually she receives visitors to Canada from The Netherlands and other parts of Europe. Arranging travel to and within Canada and the United States has gradually developed into a significant part of Brinkman Travel's business.
In 1997 Ingrid Raakman joined the company; coincidently Ingrid had lived in the same Dutch town of Apeldoorn as Ineke. Both ladies are continually receiving more business from the Dutch community. Their contacts with greenhouse growers and associates have led to booking many trips to The Netherlands for trade shows and other activities. The international horti fair is an exhibition in food and vegetable horticulture held in Holland each November.
In May 2000 Ineke organized her first group tour to The Netherlands. It was highlighted by festivities for the 55th anniversary of the liberation of The Netherlands by Canadian soldiers. Highlights of the 2002 group departure were visits to the Keukenhof, the Floriade and to the Brinkman Family Equestrian Center in Twello. In 2003 we had our first experience aboard the brand new riverboat, the Amadeus Symphony, sailing through the Dutch and Belgian waterways. It was our best vacation ever, so good that we are did it again in 2004 and 2005. Our 2005 cruise was followed by the festivities for the 60th anniversary of the liberation of The Netherlands.
Many people are asking when will we take another group. We invite you to spring on board: April 26 – our ship is the ms Amadagio. Our country stay is near the Brinkman homestead in the exclusive IJsselhotel in Deventer.
