Tijl Beckand stopt met reizen voor tv, klimaat is doorslaggevend
Amsterdam, donderdag, 11 juni 2026.
Tijl Beckand neemt afscheid als presentator van ‘Het Perfecte Plaatje Op Reis’. Zijn laatste reis voert naar Vietnam, daarna keert hij terug naar Nederland. De belangrijkste reden komt van binnen: RTL 4 past haar duurzaamheidsbeleid aan vanwege het klimaat. Internationale reizen worden beperkt. Dat maakt het onmogelijk om lange opnamedagen in verre landen te combineren met de reguliere editie. Beckand noemt het afscheid ‘met pijn in het hart’. Leonie ter Braak neemt de reiseditie over. Het nieuwe seizoen begint op 23 juni.
final journey to vietnam
Tijl Beckand presents his last season of ‘Het Perfecte Plaatje Op Reis’ from Vietnam [1]. This marks the end of his tenure as host of the travel edition. He describes feeling ‘a bit of pain in my heart’ about leaving the show [2]. The upcoming season features ten celebrities filming across Vietnam before airing on RTL 4 [3]. This international trip concludes a series of distant location shoots that defined earlier seasons. Beckand reflects emotionally on the experiences gained during these travels [4].
climate policy reshapes programming
RTL 4 restricts long-distance travel for sustainability reasons [3]. The broadcaster prioritizes reducing carbon emissions from productions [1]. International trips like those to Asia are being replaced with European locations [3]. This environmental policy shift directly impacts program formats [4]. Productions must now align with stricter ecological guidelines set by management [3]. The decision stems from corporate responsibility goals under new ownership [3].
schedule conflicts drive change
The domestic version of ‘Het Perfecte Plaatje’ films in winter months [1]. Winter conditions in Europe complicate overseas production scheduling [3]. Filming both versions simultaneously creates logistical challenges [1]. Twelve episodes of each format would demand twenty-four total installments [1]. Such volume proves difficult to manage alongside other commitments [4]. This workload concern contributed to Beckand’s exit decision [1].
host transition completes overhaul
Leonie ter Braak takes over presentation duties for future travel editions [1]. She currently leads a new group of contestants abroad [1]. Beckand focuses exclusively on the Netherlands-based version going forward [1]. His farewell coincides with broader changes at RTL 4 [3]. Viewers will see the final Beckand-led episodes starting June 23rd [1]. The transition signifies deeper structural adjustments beyond personnel shifts [3].
