Strong performance in 2014

Amsterdam attracted 5.7 million visitors in 2014, which was a 10% increase on 2013, and continued strong year-on-year growth since 2009. The number of room nights was 10.2 million, an increase of 12% compared to 2013.

Better dispersion

As tourist numbers grow, Amsterdam is working with surrounding municipalities to promote the area through the slogan “Visit Amsterdam, See Holland”, which was rewarded with a UNWTO Ulysses Award for Innovation in Non-Governmental Organizations.

Infrastructure investment

To ensure adequate transportation links for a growing number of tourists, Lelystad airport will be expanded to function as a relief airport for Amsterdam Schiphol, while the North-South subway line is set to open in 2017.

Hotel room boom

The number of hotel rooms grew by 4% in 2014, with the number of 3- and 4-star hotel rooms growing particularly strongly. Strong growth is expected to continue, as demand is outperforming supply.

Airbnb premiere

Amsterdam was the first European city to partner with Airbnb to collect tourism taxes from private rentals booked through the online platform. Although under strict regulations, Amsterdam residents can now legally rent out their room.

Museums reopened

2013 saw the reopening of three major museums after years of refurbishment and partial closures. The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum all performed strongly in 2014.

Asian travellers boost outlook

In 2014, Asian travellers accounted for 7% of room nights in the Netherlands, but it is expected that this proportion will grow strongly over the coming years, benefiting Amsterdam especially.
