“In the capital, tourism is expected to increase the coming years hard to continue to grow, but since this year there is a reluctant hotel policy, whereby new hotelplannen often not be admitted,” says Sonny Duijn, sectoreconoom at the bank.
In the pipeline
There are 30,000 hotel rooms in Amsterdam. In the coming years there is expected to be 6,000 to relax. The plans therefor are either already in the pipeline. In old office buildings, a music building and a former butcher’s shop in new hotels.
But because it was expected that the tourism in the capital continues to grow, hotels over seven years are piling up and walks to the city again to its limits.
Now is the average occupancy rate in Amsterdam at 82 percent. That is quite high. In the rest of the country, that figure is 58 percent. For investors, the market, interesting. The metropolitan hotels are a lot more profitable than the hotels in the rest of the Netherlands.
Wise
“The restrictive hotel policy of the capital provides, however, for a further growth stimulus of Airbnb,” says Duijn. “More intensive cooperation is wise, precisely because of the disturbance to further reduce the liveability monitor. Now there is to look forward do that to deal with. There you need to think of the preventive prevention of nuisance. There are already a lot of data between the municipality and Airbnb exchanged. The best solution is to have even more to work together."
The ABN Amro-sectoreconoom is to speak about the cooperation that the city already has with Airbnb. “But the basic expectations are such that we expect that the hotel capacity will rise further. Amsterdam does not want the new Venice or a whole Disneyficeren. The city therefore faces a challenge."
Expensive prices
in The past years was already seeing a substantial growth in the number of hotel guests. Last year there were in the capital city of 7 million guests stay booked. That is a growth of 1.5 million guests since 2012. The number of hotels grew from 340 in 2005 to 485 now. Room rates increased especially in the last year significantly.
now It goes well with the economy. Duijn: “We see economic growth in, for example, Germany and the United States, countries from which many tourists come. Also the population grows. Investors and entrepreneurs are focused, in part, by the hotelstop, also more and more on the outskirts of the capital. “It’s going to places that in themselves are not a tourist, but with the centre by public transport is easily accessible.”
He points out, however, also risks the growth of tourism by political or economic causes unexpected stalling, for example, on any hard Brexit. Than are hotels in less touristy areas hit hard.
