Change in international tourist arrivals due to COVID-19 in the Netherlands 2019-2021

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a major impact on travel in the Netherlands, with international tourist arrivals falling by 97 percent in April 2020 over the same month in 2019. While this scenario improved during the summer, inbound tourist arrivals started to decrease again since September and reached 123 thousand in December 2020. In April 2021, the number of international arrivals rose over the previous year, reaching 136 thousand. However, this figure was still far below pre-pandemic levels. The Netherlands imposed a nationwide lockdown on March 15 to prevent the spread of the virus. This included shutting down non-essential businesses, and non-essential travels were also banned for all countries. The travel ban was gradually lifted during May and June, then new restrictions were implemented in October.
