Where long-haul travel once seemed self-evident, destinations closer to home have now become more popular. Dutch travellers increasingly opt for holidays within the country, a trend that particularly benefits holiday parks. This development is expanding: international visitors are also discovering the Netherlands as an attractive and accessible holiday destination. As a result, demand for holiday parks is growing rapidly, while the development of new parks has slowed in recent years and even risks coming to a halt. This puts pressure on the market: without new investments, there is a looming shortage of suitable holiday park accommodation.Where long-haul travel once seemed self-evident, destinations closer to home have now become more popular.
