On this day in 1831, King “Leopold I”
took the oath as the first king of the Belgians at the Royal Palace in
Brussels, signaling Belgium’s emergence as a sovereign state as distinct from
the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
IFPLS would like to celebrate Belgium’s
National Day, a commemoration of that historic event.
The Belgian
flag, with its tricolor stripes representing the red lion of Hainaut, Limburg,
and Luxembourg, the yellow lion of Brabant, and the black lion of Flanders and
Namur, will be displayed.
Festivities
begin a day early with a concert by the National Orchestra of Belgium at BOZAR,
the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels. That same evening, a National Ball takes
place in the capital city’s historic Marolles district.
The Belgian
Royal Family starts National Day by attending a special service at the
Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula. At prominent public buildings like
the Palace of Justice and European Parliament, there are cultural events and
family-friendly activities, as well as a parade featuring military and
emergency services followed by a night fireworks spectacular.
In recent years,
the number of international tourists has exponentially grown as key figures
shown reached a new milestone when more than 1.5 billion tourists arrived after
2015.
Business in Belgium
is too much facilitated, Belgium has an open economy and a fairly formalized
business culture similar to its European neighbors. According to EU statistics,
there are over 620,000 active businesses in Belgium. Belgium is considered a
good place to start up a business and it has a strong entrepreneurial culture,
especially in Brussels and some of the bigger cities. There are many sectors
where expats can look to start a business in Belgium. The country’s largest
sector is the service sector, with tourism, financial and IT services all
