- Zandvoort’s Tourism Alderman sent a letter to Dutch Parliament members expressing concern over the upcoming VAT increase on accommodations from 9% to 21% starting January 1, 2026. The letter urges political parties to reverse the decision, highlighting the negative impact on local tourism businesses. Zandvoort competes with German and Belgian coastal towns with lower VAT rates of 6-7%, and the increase could drive tourists elsewhere. Local hoteliers share these concerns and have issued a similar call to halt the VAT hike.
