The Netherlands currently has no coronavirus (COVID-19) related travel restrictions in place. Dutch visitors can enter the UK and Scotland with a valid passport. National ID cards are no longer accepted as travel documents.
The following remain key to promote Scotland to Dutch travel trade contacts and visitors
- Flexible terms and conditions
- A strong reassurance message
- Rail travel
- Food & drink
- Active holidays
Key for the Dutch travel trade to be able to contract Scotland products are:
- Advance / fixed FIT rates for the 2023 season
- Group rates for 2024
We expect shorter booking windows for Dutch visitors. In January 2023, we hope to attend the Vakantiebeurs to engage with the Dutch travel trade. Further information to follow.
We have overview of European airline and ferry carriers with direct routes to Scotland.
