Partner with Dutch tour operators, as an independent hotel
Dutch tour operators build their programmes around specific properties, not brand standards. That should be an advantage for an independent hotel. It only works if they can actually find you.
Accommodations already on The Dutch Guests
Independent doesn't mean invisible, but it can look that way
Short-term rentals and independent stays grew from under 10% of the market in 2019 to over 15% by 2025. Travellers are choosing character over chain consistency, and Dutch tour operators already work this way, building relationships with specific properties rather than sourcing through brand standards. The gap isn't demand, it's discovery: an independent hotel outside the Netherlands has no easy way to get in front of the tour operators who'd actually want it.
What a campaign does
A campaign on The Dutch Guests describes your property, its style, its guest segment, its activities, against the same criteria Dutch tour operators are searching by. You're matched on fit, not on chain affiliation or listing volume. Every organisation on the other side is verified before you see them.
No inventory requirements, no exclusivity
You don't hand over your rates or your availability calendar, and you're not locked into one tour operator's programme. It's a verified, specific introduction, not a distribution contract.
