Ambassador van der Fleet, who came from the Netherlands, the country of tulips, communicated with the Korean people at Everland, where the Tulip Festival was in full swing, and enjoyed Korea's beautiful spring flowers while touring the Sky Garden Path, where plum blossoms and cherry blossoms were blooming. He also commemorated Arbor Day by planting maple trees at Forest Camp, Everland's premium forest.

Ambassador van der Fleet said, "I am grateful to Everland for introducing Dutch culture in a way that is familiar to the Korean people," and added, "I hope the bond between the peoples of the two countries deepens through tulips."

Everland introduced Korea's first tulip-themed flower festival in 1992 and has developed the event into a representative spring flower festival in the country. To date, about 50 million people have visited the Tulip Festival. In 2008, Everland created a 4,500㎡ 'Holland Village' by reproducing Alkmaar Street, famous for its cheese market, modeled after traditional Dutch architectural styles, and operates it as a space to experience Dutch culture.
