CBS reported, that the number of jobs in the tourism sector has increased by 15 thousand in 2014, reaching 606 thousand in total. The number of full-time jobs increased approximately by eight thousand, while the increase in the volume of jobs was more than 2%. The percentage of jobs in the Dutch economy in total slightly fell, thus the share of the tourism sector increased.

Last year the employment in the tourism sector was equal to 366 thousand full-time jobs, which was equal to 46% of the hospitality sector (including hotels, restaurants, campsites, holiday parks). The number of tourist hospitality jobs increased by 3% compared to 2013.

While employment in the hospitality industry had positive tendency, the number full-time jobs in the aviation and travel agencies was just 3% in 2014. In particular, traditional travel agencies have suffered from the increasing number of online bookings.

About three quarters of work in the tourism sector consists of the typical tourism jobs (jobs in the hospitality, aviation, agencies, art and culture). About a quarter of the work in the tourism sector consists of other jobs such as in retail, public transport and in the taxi industry.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
