Older folk are keen day trippers

Some 415 million day trips – or 26 outings per person – are made in the Netherlands every year according to research by Nipo for the tourist board NBTC.


Almost 25% of trips longer than four hours are spent at amusement parks, zoos or an event.
Outings are particularly popular with the over-50s who enjoy over 100 million trips a year and the over-75s who account for almost 10 million.
