Which factors have the biggest impact on the Dutch choosing their holiday
destination? Why do they travel? What kind of accommodation do they prefer?

Booking.com did interesting research about why people go on holiday. For
most people, the reason is clear: relaxation. 82% of the Dutch agree on
this. But when looking at the motivation for traveling, we see interesting
differences between countries.

In example, 74% of Argentinian people travel to catch up on old times. The
Chinese and Indian prefer to have a simpler lifestyle during their holidays
(77% and 79%, respectively). 61% of the Dutch want to escape from their
stressful lives.

When choosing a destination, the Dutch differ a bit from the rest of the
world. Where travellers worldwide choose their destination based on
personal safety, hygiene, beautiful nature, a tasty local kitchen and
reliable weather, the Dutch are less afraid to take a little safety risk
and firstly want to experience beautiful nature. After the beautiful
nature, they choose personal safety, hygiene, a tasty local kitchen and
interesting people and friendly locals.

Now you know what factors impact the choices of the Dutch regarding their
holiday destination, you might be wondering what accommodation they prefer.

summer cottage/bungalow (15.4%). 9.5% prefer to stay in an apartment.
