Dutch millennials (ages 18 to 35) have undertaken some 6.9 million holidays in 2017. Nearly 60% of all holidays by millennials were spent abroad, with particularly city trips being popular. This is based on NBTC-NIPO Research on the Continuous Holiday Survey and additional research into the holiday behaviour of millennials.
Worldwide almost three-quarters of travellers (71%) regret missed opportunities to travel, among young people aged 18-24 (Generation Z) this is even 82%. Among all generations almost a fifth of all travellers (19%) say that they have found their passion or purpose in life while travelling, 17% have overcome a great fear and 15% have learned a new language.
When it comes to booking holiday accommodation, the Dutch are leading the way in Europe. This is shown by research by Eurostat, the bureau of statistics of the European Union. The organization retrieved the online travel data of all EU members. 86% of the holidays (flights, accommodation, car rental, trips) abroad is booked online.
Did the Dutch invent the concept of going on a holiday? Certainly not. Are they the only ones in the whole wide world that travel? Heck no. So what makes the Dutch traveller so special?
Let’s start by stating that the Dutch have a lot of free time: with a standard of 25 days of annual leave and 30.6 hours (as average) per week it’s not surprising that as a result, your around the block dutchie goes on holiday almost 3 times a year!
