Tiel lies in the Betuwe, a region that surrounds Tiel and that is famous for its fruit production. It is also referred to as the Dutch fruit garden, with Tiel as its capital. At the end of the 19th century, the fruit was processed into all sorts of products, such as jam and fruit juices. ‘De Betuwe’ in Tiel was a big jam factory. Due to competition from other European jam makers, the factory started an advertising campaign in 1930 to raise awareness for its own products. Flipje became De Betuwe’s marketing icon. The jam factory no longer exists, but Flipje is still the mascot of the city of Tiel. Tiel’s residents are proud of him, and they have even a museum about this mascot. Later on Tiel was mainly a city of companies in the service provision, technology and transport sectors.

Tiel is located on Europe’s busiest river, the Waal. This side river of the Rijn, offers the city many trade and transport possibilities. However, Tiel is also great for tourists as it lies in the heart of Holland’s famous river landscape. At times, the water shows its dangerous side. In 1995, water levels in the river rose to such an extent that the city was in danger of being flooded. Everyone was evacuated. Military staff and emergency service providers worked hard to reinforce and raise the river banks. Ultimately, Dutch inventiveness and knowhow in hydraulic engineering beat the water. The city remained dry and its residents were able to return to their homes.
