Carola van Rijn, Project Manager, NBTC informed that with direct connectivity fuelling in demand from Delhi and Mumbai, the tourism board is optimistic of registering a 30% increase in Indian travellers in 2016.
She elaborated, “Last year 100,000 Indian visitors travelled to Netherlands and this year we are hopeful of a 30% increase over the previous year. Currently, Delhi and Mumbai are key target markets for NBTC due to direct flight connectivity. Leisure (groups and FIT) dominates travel from India to Netherlands and we see a huge interest among the MICE agents in India. The average length of stay is two nights from India.”
Wilco Sweijen, Director-Aviation Marketing, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol added, “As Jet Airways shifted its base from Brussels to Amsterdam, there are two direct flights between Delhi and Amsterdam and one non-stop flight from Amsterdam to Mumbai. In the first six months of this year, we have noticed a 60% jump in Indian arrivals. By the year end, we expect 400,000 travellers flying between India and Netherlands.”
In 2016, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol witnessed nine percent growth in business in the first 10 months of this year.
