Description topics

Leisure accommodation
These are establishments in the Netherlands that provide accommodation
of one of the following types:
- camp sites
- holiday parks
- group accommodation
The term group accommodation includes accommodation for groups at
farms, camps, large holiday homes, children's holiday homes, nature
camps, stables and sailing/outdoor adventure organisations.
Until 1998 youth hotels and youth hostels are counted as
group accommodation establishments. From 1998 they are categorised
as a hotel. Until 1987 the figures cover only the summer
season i.e. the months April to September, from 1987 they cover all
months of the year.

are counted as one sleeping-place and double beds as two sleeping
places. Sleeping-places in permently hired cottages or holidayhomes
are not included.

this was four sleeping-places. Sleeping-places on fixed pitches are
not included.
