Peter Gillis is stepping down as boss of Dutch Oostappen holiday parks, he shared via Instagram on Thursday. According to Peter, his organization will be transferred to a new operator, while Peter will continue to manage the Belgian parks under a new label.
Painful decision for Peter Gillis
The SBS6 star’s decision comes after several problems with permits at several parks, including the loss of catering permits and the failure to obtain operating permits. “It is a painful decision, but it is with pain in my heart that I hand over the operation of the Dutch parks,” Peter writes. Despite the change, the parks will continue to operate under the same name.
‘Employees can continue to work’
“It is important that employees can continue to work and guests can continue to enjoy an affordable holiday,” emphasizes Peter, known for his reality show Massa is Kassa. The Gillis parks were previously discredited due to housing migrant workers against the rules and a failed Bibob test. As a result, one of his parks, Prinsenmeer Park, had to close. Although the exact transfer date is not known, the upcoming holiday season is already being run by the new team.
Possible new permit
Peter’s park which is located in Ommel, has a long-running conflict with the municipality of Asten due to alleged rule violations, including permanent residence. The municipality has indicated that the permits will be reassessed if there is a new owner.
