Very lively and informative ETOA - European tourism association #Amsterdam working group meeting on Monday, kindly hosted by Royal Coster Diamonds. The city is losing valuable conference business due to the increase in local #Citytaxes (and national #VAT applicable to accommodation). High-end leisure tourism from river cruising is being managed down. But #Schiphol remains ones of Europe's major gateways, and the visitor economy is vital for the cultural and hospitality sectors, as well as excursions, canal cruise, retail and their collective supply chain. The travel industry is good at developing solutions, needs new product dispersed across the #Netherlands, and wants to work with public sector stakeholders to maximise mutual interest. Demand is growing and tourism is not a command economy. What does good look like? #Destination2030 Click here for more information about ETOA's working groups: https://lnkd.in/eDma-M3M amsterdam&partners NBTC Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions Centre of Expertise Leisure, Tourism and Hospitality European Exhibition Industry Alliance City Destinations Alliance | CityDNA
