After lounging on white sandy beaches, enjoying refreshing pool dips, and soaking up vitamin D, the return to rainy weather, work, and daily routines hits hard for many Dutch travelers. A survey by travel organization Eliza was Here reveals that 56% of Dutch people experience a post-holiday dip upon returning home.
The slump isn't limited to summer returns—nearly half (47%) crave a ticket to sunnier destinations during the cold winter months. Across seasons, anticipation builds joy: 76% of Dutch respondents appreciate having a holiday booked to look forward to.
Holidays also play a key role in stress management. About 31% of Dutch people report daily stress, with women (37%) more affected than men (26%). Notably, 29% feel less stressed after booking a trip, a effect amplified among millennials (25-34 years old), where 44% report reduced stress levels.
