Who this page is for
Built for the Dutch travel trade desk
This page is for Dutch reisbureaus, touroperators, bedbanks and corporate travel teams sending clients to Sri Lanka as the principal destination, with Dubai, Thailand and Azerbaijan available as manually handled secondary support. The Netherlands punches well above its weight as a long-haul source market — Sri Lanka and Thailand in particular have well-established Dutch demand, served by KLM and Gulf connections from Amsterdam Schiphol.
Whether you are a specialist long-haul reisadviesbureau, a touroperator building seasonal brochure programmes, or a bedbank supplying wholesale product, the ground handling process here is straightforward: you send the brief, we send the trade quotation, you mark it up and retain the client relationship entirely.
Matched to how Dutch agents book
Sri Lanka — a Dutch market favourite
Sri Lanka is one of the most consistently popular long-haul destinations for Dutch travellers, with strong demand for cultural round tours combining Colombo, the Cultural Triangle, hill country and south coast beaches. We operate full-island ground handling through our SLTDA-licensed team — 7 to 14 night programmes with guided touring and beach extensions are our most common Dutch-market requests.
Thailand — high-volume, multi-centre demand
Thailand is a perennially strong market for Dutch travellers, particularly Bangkok–Phuket, Bangkok–Koh Samui and northern Thailand touring around Chiang Mai. We handle full multi-centre itineraries, group departures, island transfers and beach stays across all the main Dutch-market destinations in Thailand.
Dubai — city breaks and winter sun
Dubai draws Dutch travellers for short city breaks and as a stopover add-on to longer itineraries. Direct KLM service and Gulf connections make it accessible. We cover Dubai city tours, desert safaris, hotel coordination and transfers, with Abu Dhabi day programmes on request.
Azerbaijan — a differentiator for your programme
Azerbaijan offers Dutch touroperators a genuine point of difference — Baku's architectural contrast, Silk Road history and Caspian setting are an easy sell for culturally curious Dutch travellers seeking something beyond the mainstream. We handle city programmes, Gobustan tours, Gabala mountain stays and group MICE logistics.
