1 million Dutch on a short break during Ascension weekend
400.000 Dutch will go on a short trip abroad during Ascension Day and about 600.000 Dutch will go on holiday in the Netherlands, according to NBTC (the Dutch Tourist Office). Ascension Day is always on a Thursday and a public holiday in Holland so many employees take the Friday off as well.
Hello neighbours
Approximately 40% of the Dutch holiday makers will go abroad - the most popular destinations are Germany, Belgium and France.
Last minute bookings
The trend of last minute bookings is continuing. Interior holidays are still very popular (60%), but because of the weather in the Netherlands many Dutch decide at the last moment whether they will go away or not. Campsites and bungalow parks are still popular.
Boost for economy
Almost 100 million euro will be spent by the Dutch in their own country during the upcoming break
