DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sw7zbz/travel_and) has announced the addition of the "Travel and Tourism in the Netherlands to 2017" report to their offering.
Tourist volumes in the Netherlands increased during the review period due to the country's improved travel infrastructure and the availability of cheaper travel options. The country's inbound tourist volume expanded at a review-period (2008-2012) CAGR of 3.20% and is expected to record growth over the forecast period (2013-2017) at a CAGR of 1.29%.
Key Highlights
- As a result of the European debt crisis, the Dutch economy recorded slow growth in 2012. However, the economic outlook for 2013 suggests recovery with an expected GDP growth of 1.3% and 2.5% by 2014. The travel and tourism sector in the Netherlands is therefore expected to record moderate but consistent growth over the next five years.
- Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific contributed the largest amount of inbound tourists in the Netherlands. The Dutch government's initiative to improve road infrastructure across Europe and the introduction of a high-speed passenger service linking Amsterdam and Rotterdam to France, Belgium, Germany and London facilitates travel by road and rail.
- The travellers using intercontinental flights increased mainly due to cheap flight tickets being offered. Tourists therefore opted to go on long haul flights to the US, Antilles, Thailand, Spain, Egypt, Turkey and Mexico. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is aiming to increase travel to emerging economies such as Asia and South America, offering discounts and route expansion.
- Low-cost carrier Transavia expanded its operations from the Netherlands in 2012 to Greece and Italy. The Air France-KLM low-cost airline commenced operations on the route from Amsterdam to Dubai during October 2012. Competition on this route is intensifying with Emirates and KLM already providing daily flights, Garuda Indonesia running four flights a week and Arkefly running flights three times a week.
- Europcar is the leading brand in the Dutch car rental market. It partnered with Thalys Rail Service and Accor Hotels through which it provides seasonal discounts and promotions. In June 2013, Sharing Matters became the latest member of the Enterprise-branded car rental businesses in Europe. By September 2013, the company aims to deliver a network of rental locations at major transport and city hubs to serve the increasing demands of inbound leisure and business travelers.
