Almost 2 million Dutch on holiday in May
An estimated 1.8 million Dutch will go on holiday in May. Some 850.000 will go abroad, about 950.000, will go on holiday in Holland itself. The May holiday - an annual school holiday - will last from Saturday the 26th of April till Monday the 5th of May.
Holiday in own country is more popular
Because the May holiday lasts two weeks lots of Dutch decided to go on holiday. Compared to last year the total number of holidaymakers is about the same. The most popular foreign destinations are our neighbouring countries France, Germany and Belgium.
Bungalows and campsites
The most popular accommodations for a holiday in the Netherlands are bungalows and campsites. Besides these accommodations touring with caravans is still popular too. One of the main issues these weeks is the weather. If the weather is good there will be many people going to a campsite but when it’s raining people will rather stay at home.
Average expenditure during this holiday period is almost 175 euro per person. Nearly 170 million euro will be spent in Holland itself.
