Its own steamship company, homegrown products and its own booking platform. Texel is known for successful island initiatives and a strong own identity. We also say: nice and local. Do you love the island and enjoy coming there? Then you can help the people of Texel. By supporting local initiatives, you contribute to developing and strengthening a robust island economy. And so Texel can remain Texel. That is why we say: book local, buy local and enjoy local!

This is how you help Texel

On this page, we collect local projects and initiatives through which you, as an island guest, can support the island. This is how you can help:

• Adopt a square metre of Texel's flower field for native insects,
• Book locally via VVV Texel, thus helping Texel entrepreneurs
• Shop locally with discounts from the @texel app!

Below you can find more information about our local projects and actions.
