Its activities are aimed at attracting as many tourists as possible to the Netherlands. NBTC puts the country on the map as an attractive destination for holidays, business meetings and conventions, notably through the Holland website. A shrinking budget The NBTC receives funding from central government to promote the Netherlands. Between 2011 and 2015, its grant will be halved from €16.6 million to €8.3 million.

The hospitality industry is already working with the scheme and the events industry has also expressed interest. Fewer inspections for businesses that comply with the rules The government wants to reward law-abiding businesses by reducing the number of required inspections. This will give inspectors more time to check up on businesses that do not comply with the regulations. The hospitality industry is one of several sectors currently considering ways of implementing the new scheme. Sustainability: tourism industry invests in nature Central government is encouraging entrepreneurs to come up with new ways of investing in the Dutch countryside. For example, six Green Deals have been signed with the recreation sector. The aim is to demonstrate the potential of green growth.
