Second homes in Holland more popular
Interest in owning a holiday house in the Netherlands is growing, according to the organisers of a trade fair for second homes.
In 2005, just 5% of people wanted to buy a holiday home elsewhere in the Netherlands, but that has now gone up to 13%, the organisers told news agency ANP.
Between 250,000 and 500,000 Dutch households are thought to have a second home, either in the Netherlands or abroad.
Spain is the most popular destination, with France in second place
