When booking a holiday, you pay in advance and want to enjoy the anticipation with confidence. Booking your holiday via VVV Texel is safe and secure, thanks to the 5 certainties of VVV Texel.

1. Licensee of VVV Netherlands

On 22 February 1885, the first VVV was founded in café Walram in Valkenburg in South Limburg. After the start in Valkenburg, VVVs sprang up all over the Netherlands. Independent branches started working closely together from which the national umbrella organisation VVV Netherlands arose. The VVV License entitles you to use the VVV brand at physical locations and in (online) media statements about the destination.VVV Netherlands helps, supports and facilitates VVV and destination marketing organisations with the VVV License in achieving its hospitality and destination marketing goals.

2. SSL secured

The VVV Texel website is secure. You can recognise a secured website by the green lock at the top of your browser. Besides the green lock at the top of your browser, you can also recognise an SSL connection by the https at the beginning of the URL. Https stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. So the extra S at the end of http stands for secure. If you click on the padlock, you can check the details of the certificate and its issuer. An SSL certificate is mandatory if - like VVV Texel - you process personal data. Especially since the advent of the AVG, it is essential to see privacy and security of website visitors as a priority. Sensitive information such as address details or payment traffic is encrypted. This makes it a lot harder for cyber criminals to see or modify this data.
