The latest data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in the Netherlands shows that in 2019, tourism contributed 4.4% to the country’s total value added. However, due to the pandemic, this figure dropped to its lowest point of 2.3% in 2020. By 2022, the importance of the tourism industry in the national economy had recovered to 3.7% of GDP. This positive trend is also reflected in employment within the tourism sector and the operational values of tourism companies, indicating a recovery from the pandemic’s impact and continued growth. Additional data is available from the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions (NBTC) through a free, automatically updated dashboard that allows users to explore key figures on the economic impact of tourism in the Netherlands.
