Wow! We are incredibly proud to share that for the second consecutive year, we have won the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award! Together with our team, we commit each season to providing our visitors with an outstanding tulip experience. Seeing our visitors' appreciation reflected in this award is truly an honor.
Our director, Sylvia Pennings, accepted the award with a big smile. This award confirms that the love and knowledge we invest as a family business in our Experience genuinely resonate with our visitors. It's a reward we cherish deeply.
We are profoundly grateful to all our visitors, from nearly 120 different countries, who have shared their experiences on TripAdvisor. This international platform, where consumers share tips with each other, annually recognizes the top 10% of the highest-rated attractions with an award. Your support makes it possible for us to receive this award, even though we are open only two months a year. This recognition drives us to bring out the best in ourselves and our Tulip Experience every day.
We are eagerly counting down to the upcoming tulip season. We are full of new ideas for the next season and can't wait to share them with you. Preparations for planting over one million tulip bulbs are already underway. Our Experience is open for eight weeks a year, during which we share the story behind the tulip and let visitors experience the magic of the tulip. In our museum, which operates as a bulb company for the rest of the year, you'll learn all about the rich history, the cultivation process, and surprising facts about tulips. Plus, you can take the most beautiful photos in our show garden with 1 million tulips in 700 different varieties.
Our tulip museum in the heart of the Bulb Region will reopen its doors from March 20 to May 11, every day from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Come by and experience for yourself why the Tulip Experience Amsterdam has won the Travelers' Choice Award. We look forward to welcoming you again!
