Netherlands residents will spend more and more on holidays in the coming years, regardless of their age. Holiday spending is expected to increase by 30 percent until 2027, ABN Amro said in a report on the travel sector. According to the Dutch Tourism & Conventions Board (NBTC), fewer Dutch people plan to spend their next vacation in the Netherlands, increasingly opting for a holiday elsewhere in Europe.

Holidaymakers who experienced extreme weather this summer will think more carefully about their destination next time. 65 percent of them indicate that they will take the risk of a heatwave, forest fire, or extreme rainfall into account in their decision, compared to 42 percent of those not affected by extreme weather. The Dutch Tourism & Conventions Board (NBTC) reported this based on a representative study among Dutch, Germans, Belgians, British, French, and Americans.
