What are the rules?
Dutch vacation providers are legally obligated to include fixed costs in the starting price and, therefore, to show them clearly. Fixed costs are costs that must be paid in any case, such as reservation costs, bed linen, tourist tax and cleaning costs. However, research by the Consumers' Association shows that many, including large vacation providers, do not comply with this. These additional costs are added to the starting price later in the booking process, which is, therefore, essentially not allowed.
