Jean-Marie Dedecker, mayor of Middelkerke, affirmed during the program “Face à Buxant” that French-speaking tourists are more than welcome on the Belgian Coast.
During his appearance on the program “Face à Buxant”, Jean-Marie Dedecker, mayor of Middelkerke and federal deputy, made an unexpected confession concerning French-speaking tourists.
When asked whether French speakers are welcome on the Coast, he responded enthusiastically: “Yes, absolutely!“
Jean-Marie Dedecker announced negotiations with Radio Contact to broadcast live broadcasts from the beach in Middelkerke this summer. This initiative aims to attract more French-speaking tourists and strengthen the region’s tourist appeal.
Walloon and Brussels tourists make a significant economic contribution to the Flemish Coast. “Everyone is welcome here, bring a little money for our merchants and all that because the weather is bad“, he added with humor.
Belgian Coast or Flemish Coast?
On the question of terminology, Dedecker joked: “They say Belgian Coast but Flemish Coast is good for me too. It’s the Flemish Coast until the sea begins and then it’s the Belgian Coast.“
Jean-Marie Dedecker clearly expressed his warm welcome to French-speaking tourists, emphasizing their importance for the local economy.
Initiatives such as live broadcasts from the beach and the promotion of new attractions such as the casino show Middelkerke’s commitment to strengthening its tourist attractiveness.
