Belgian woman pays for 68 relatives to visit Tunisia for retirement

Magda Vercamer, a 67-year-old woman from Oudenaarde, Belgium, paid for an all-inclusive vacation to the Tunisian island of Djerba for 68 family members to celebrate her retirement.

Vercamer financed the trip to enjoy her wealth with her relatives now rather than leaving it to them later. She spent at least 70,000 euros on the holiday.

While she allowed family members to pursue their own interests during the day, she required everyone to sit together at a reserved table every evening at 18:30. She also asked that they sit next to different people each night to encourage interaction. The group included a diverse range of ages, from a 1.5-year-old child to a 75-year-old man named Sander.

The family wore custom clothing during the trip, including t-shirts and hats with slogans like "Vercamer forever" and "Magda? Da mag!". They also spent time singing together at the hotel bar. This trip follows a previous organized vacation for 56 relatives that Vercamer arranged 13 years ago when she turned 55.

She stated that she would recommend such a trip to anyone who can afford it because she believes in enjoying life with her family while she is still able to do so.
